Fish were collected from October 2008 to August 2009 using a beach seine net from the Çanakkale coasts of Turkey. A total of 129 juvenile D. puntazzo (ranging from 13 mm to 77 mm total length) and 951 D. vulgaris (ranging from 15 mm to 97 mm total length) were collected during the sampling periods in the study area. The stomach content analyses showed that the diet of both species mainly comprised copepods and amphipods. In addition, algae were found in the stomach contents. No significant differences were found between the feeding habits of juvenileD. vulgaris and D. puntazzo (ANOSIM; global R statistic = –0.0158; P > 0.05). An important overlap in the diet calculated using the Schoener index was recorded as 0.75 for D.

  • Современный Состав Подсемейства Encotyllabinae (Monogenoidea: Capsalidae)
    ПАРАЗИТОЛОГИЯ, 34, 4, 2000 УДК 576.895.122.1 СОВРЕМЕННЫЙ СОСТАВ ПОДСЕМЕЙСТВА ENCOTYLLABINAE (MONOGENOIDEA: CAPSALIDAE) © Т. П. Егорова Подсем. Encotyllabinae было обосновано в 1892 г. Монтичелли (Monticelli, 1892) и вошло в состав сем. Capsalidae Baird, 1853 с типовым и единственным родом Encotyllabe Diesing 1850, который позднее Прайс (Price, 1939) поместил в подсем. Benedeniinae Johnston, 1931. Спростон (Sproston, 1946) восстановила подсем. Enco- tyllabinae, что было поддержано Быховским (1957) и Ямагути (Yamaguti, 1963). Впоследствии для подсемейства были описаны еще два рода — Neoencotyllabe Gupta et Krishna, 1980 и Alio encotyllabe Khalil et Abdul-Salam, 1988. Род Neoencotyllabe с типовым и единственным видом N. muelleri был обоснован Гуптой и Кришной (Gupta, Krishna, 1980) на основании изучения только одного экземпляра моногенеи, собранного с жабр морской рыбы Drepane punctata из Индии. Основными признаками, отличающими его от типового рода Encotyllabe, авторы посчитали наличие одного семенника (что для капсалид нехарактерно) и замкнутого кишечника (признак важный на уровне подсемейства и не свойственный энкотилла- бинам). При этом схематичный рисунок сопровождается очень кратким описанием. Мы разделяем сомнения Халила и Абдул-Саляма (Khalil, Abdul-Salam, 1988) по поводу достоверности рода Neoencotyllabe. Попытки этих авторов получить типовой материал для повторного изучения и подтверждения валидности этого рода не увенчались успехом. В связи с этим мы поддерживаем предложение Халила и Абдул-Саляма считать род Neoencotyllabe genus iquirendum. Таким образом, мы предлагаем числить в подсем. Encotyllabinae два рода (Enco- tyllabe и Alloencotyllabe) и 19 видов. По данным Спростон (Sproston, 1946), Ямагути (Yamaguti, 1963) и Лалера (Lawler, 1981) число родов и видов в подсемействе было соответственно: 1/8, 1/12, 1/15. Большинство видов энкотиллабин было обнаружено в ротовой полости и глоточ- ном отделе их хозяев — рыб, в то время как основными местами обитания капсалид являются жабры, жаберная полость и поверхность тела.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

  • The Dusky Kob Argyrosomus Japonicus Is a Large However, Poorly Understood
    S. Afr. J. mar. Sci. 18: 137–145 1997 137 INFLUENCE OF PREY AVAILABILITY ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF DUSKY KOB ARGYROSOMUS JAPONICUS (SCIAENIDAE) IN THE GREAT FISH RIVER ESTUARY, WITH NOTES ON THE DIET OF EARLY JUVE- NILES FROM THREE OTHER ESTUARINE SYSTEMS M. H. GRIFFITHS* The stomach contents of 391 juvenile dusky kob Argyrosomus japonicus (23–805 mm total length, TL) from the Great Fish River estuary were analysed. Early juveniles (<50 mm TL) fed predominantly on mysids and calanoid copepods. As the juveniles increased in size, copepods were replaced by teleost prey, but mysids remained an important dietary component of all dusky kob <600 mm TL. Teleosts were the principal prey of dusky kob >100 mm TL, but the dominant species varied with predator size: early juveniles of 100–149 mm TL preyed mostly on the late larvae and early juveniles of other fish species, particularly the Cape stumpnose Rhabdosargus holubi; juveniles of 150–400 mm TL fed largely on early juvenile mugilids and on the small, pelagic estuarine round herring Gilchristella aestuaria; juvenile dusky kob of >400 mm TL fed on several teleost species, including early juvenile conspecifics, but their most important prey item was G. aestuaria. Based on the distribution patterns of A. japonicus and their predators and prey in the Great Fish River estuary, it is concluded that predator avoidance and prey availability determine the spatial distribution of early juveniles in estuaries, and that the distribution patterns of larger juveniles (>400 mm TL) depend on those of their principal prey. Important prey items of early juvenile from three other estuarine systems included calanoid copepods, mysids, insects, amphipods and swimming prawns.

  • Gastrointestinal Helminth Parasites of Lithognathus Mormyrus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Perciformes Sparidae) in the Western Medi- Terranean Sea
    Biodiversity Journal , 2018, 9 (1): 9–18 Gastrointestinal helminth parasites of Lithognathus mormyrus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Perciformes Sparidae) in the Western Medi- terranean Sea Amel Bellal *, Naouel Amel Brahim Tazi, Mustapha Charane & Zakia Hadjou Laboratoire Réseau de Surveillance Environnementale (LRSE), Département de Biologie, Faculté des Sciences de la Nature et de la Vie, Université d’Oran1, Ahmed Ben Bella, Algeria; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Between December 2014 and April 2016, 235 specimens of striped seabream Lithognathus mormyrus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Perciformes Sparidae) caught along the western Algerian coast were examined for helminth parasites. This taxa includes 5 monogeneans ( Lamellodiscus fla - gellatus , L. ignoratus , L. mormyri , L. verberis and Pagellicotyle mormyri ), 13 digeneans ( Le - pidauchen stenostoma , Derogenes latus , Magnibursatus bartolii , Proctoeces maculatus , Holorchis pycnoporus , Lepocreadium album , L. pegorchis , Macvicaria maamouriae , M. mail - lardi , M. mormyri , Pycnadenoides senegalensis , Diphterostomum brusinae and Zoogonus rubellus ), 3 nematodes ( Hysterothylacium rhacodes , Dichelyne tripapillatus and Ascarophis sp.), 1 cestode ( Scolex pleuronectis ) and 2 Acanthocephala ( Acanthocephaloides propinquus and A. incrassatus ). All the species were recorded for the first time in the western Algerian coast in this host. Furthermore, Lepidauchen stenostoma and Hysterothylacium rhacodes are reported for the first time in the western Mediterranean. Magnibursatus bartolii , Zoogonus rubellus , Dichelyne tripapillatus , Ascarophis sp. and Scolex pleuronectis provide a new host record in Lithognathus mormyrus from the Mediterranean Sea. Epidemiological indexes (pre - valence, abundance and mean intensity) were calculated for each helminth species identified in this fish. The Algerian west coast shows the highest value in the helminth species richness among all the Mediterranean coasts. KEY WORDS Helminthfauna; Lithognathus mormyrus ; Mediterranean Sea; Sparidae.

Sagittal otolith morphology of sharpsnout seabream Diplodus puntazzo (Walbaum, 1792) in the Aegean sea. Int. J. Morphol., 34(2):484-488, 2016. SUMMARY: The morphology, biometry and shape indices of the left and right sagittal otoliths were studied for sharpsnout seabream, Diplodus puntazzo species from Aegean Sea. The shape, sulcus acusticus shape, proximal and distal surfaces, anterior and posterior regions of left and right sagittal otoliths for a total of 52 D. puntazzo were analyzed. The morphometric measurements such as weight, length, width, area and perimeter were recorded for each pair of sagittal otoliths of the sharpsnout seabream. The shape indices such as form factor, roundness, aspect ratio, circularity, rectangularity, and ellipticity were calculated for left and right sagittal otoliths of D. puntazzo. The otolith width and ellipticity were significantly different (P <0.05) for left and right sagittal otolith measurements and shape indices, respectively in D. puntazzo inhabiting the Aegean Sea. Morphological characteristics of fish otoliths were highly variable in species and populations; there was limited information on the sagittal otolith morphology and shape indices. The present study provided sufficient information of the sharpsnout seabream left and right otolith morphologies, biometry, and shape indices in the Aegean Sea, they may provide a useful tool for marine and freshwater species discrimination and identification in further investigations.

Moyano Received: 31 January 2017; Accepted: 5 May 2017; Published: 13 May 2017 Abstract: Silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) is recognized as one of the most promising fish species for aquaculture diversification in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea regions. In this regard, S. hasta has received considerable attention, and nutritional studies focused on establishing the nutritional requirements for improving diet formulation have been conducted during recent years. Considering the results from different dose–response nutritional studies on macronutrient requirements conducted in this species, it can be concluded that diets containing ca. 48% crude protein, 15% crude lipid, 15% carbohydrates and 20 KJ g−1 gross energy are recommended for on-growing S. hasta juveniles. In addition, the optimum essential amino acid profile for this species (expressed as g 16 g N−1), should be approximately arginine 5.3, lysine 6.0, threonine 5.2, histidine 2.5, isoleucine 4.6, leucine 5.4, methionine + cysteine 4.0 (in a diet containing 0.6 cysteine), phenylalanine + tyrosine 5.6 (in a diet containing 1.9 tyrosine), tryptophan 1.0 and valine 4.6.
