The present review is focus on parasitic organisms, previously considered as protozoans. Viral, prokaryotic and fungal parasites caused diseases and disorders of worldwide mullets were also observed. Most of the known viruses associated with a high mortality of mullets were detected in Mugil cephalus . Prokaryotic microparasites were registered in M. cephalus , Moolgarda cunnesiu , Liza ramada and Mugil liza . Fungal pathogens were associated with representatives of the genera Aphanomyces , Achlya , Phialemonium , Ichthyophonus . Ichthyophonus sp. can be considered as a potential threat for marine fish aquaculture, especially in culture conditions. A new hyperparasitic microsporidium like organism was recorded in myxozoan Myxobolus parvus infecting grey mullet Liza haematocheilus in the Russian coastal zone of the Sea of Japan. The protozoan representatives of the phyla Dinoflagellata, Euglenozoa, Ciliophora and Apicomplexa were reviewed and analyzed. The review of myxosporean parasites from grey mullets includes 64 species belonging to 13 genera and 9 families infecting 16 fish species Key words: worldwide mullets, microparasites, diseases and disorders Introduction importance of microparasites, infecting mullets based on existing data and original material Separation of microparasites from other obtained during parasitological investigations of parasites based mostly on epidemiological grounds mullets.

  • Cytogenetic Analysis of Global Populations of Mugil Cephalus (Striped Mullet) by Different Staining Techniques and Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization
    Heredity 76 (1996) 77—82 Received 30 May 1995 Cytogenetic analysis of global populations of Mugil cephalus (striped mullet) by different staining techniques and fluorescent in situ hybridization ANNA RITA ROSSI, DONATELLA CROSETTIt, EKATERINA GORNUNG & LUCIANA SOLA* Department of Animal and Human Biology, University of Rome 7, Via A. Bore/li 50, 00161 Rome and tICRAM, Central Institute for Marine Research, Via L. Respighi 5, 00197 Rome, Italy Thepresent paper reports the results of cytogenetic analysis carried out on several scattered populations of the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus, the most widespead among mugilid species. The karyotype was investigated through Ag-staining, C-banding, fluorochrome-staining (chro- momycin A3/DAPI) and fluorescent in situ hybridization with rDNA genes. All populations showed the same chromosome number and morphology and no changes were detected in heterochromatin and NORs. Therefore, neither population- nor sex-specific marker chromo- somes were identified. In some of the specimens, NOR size heteromorphism was detected. Results are discussed with respect to karyotype and ribosomal cistrons organization and to cytotaxonomic implications. Keywords:cytotaxonomy,FISH, heterochromatin, karyotype, NOR. Although the karyotype of M cephalus is already Introduction known (Table 1), there are no data from differential Thestriped mullet, Mugil cephalus, is the most wide- staining techniques, except for observations on spread among mugilid species, and inhabits the trop- nucleolar organizer regions (NOR5) by Amemiya & ical and subtropical seas of the world.

These analyses suggested the paraphyly of the genus Liza and also that the separation of Liza, Chelon and Oedalechilus might be unnatural. Moreover, all the species of the genus Mugil plus orthologs of Crenimugil crenilabis clustered together; however, molecular analyses suggested possible introgressions in Mugil cephalus and moreover, that fish identified as Mugil curema could correspond to two different species as already shown by karyotypic analyses. Keywords: Mugilidae, grey mullets, mitochondrial DNA, Mugil cephalus, introgression. INTRODUCTION We have focused this study on Mugilid species for which both cytochrome b (cytb) and 16S rDNA mtDNA sequences The family Mugilidae, commonly referred to as grey have been already published. Their geographic distributions mullets, includes several species which have a worldwide are briefly presented here. Oedalechilus labeo is limited to distribution; they inhabit marine, estuarine, and freshwater the Mediterranean Sea and the Moroccan Atlantic coast, environments at all latitudes except the Polar Regions [1]; a whereas, Liza and Chelon inhabit also the Eastern Atlantic few spend all their lives in freshwater [2].

FLORA AND FAUNA 7.1 EXISTING SITUATION 7.1.1 Scope This chapter addresses the matters listed in the ToR under the heading ‘Flora and Fauna’. These ToR include broad matters of environmental significance, ecosystems, and biodiversity and cover a wide range of often interrelated topics. These are discussed as follows: sensitive environmental areas matters of national environmental significance and state environmental significance* terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems* listed flora* listed fauna* listed migratory birds* overall biodiversity ecological processes and integrity* Ramsar wetlands and migratory bird agreements* fish and fisheries resources. Details of threats to biodiversity from pest plants and animals are provided in Chapter 19 (Biosecurity). Matters designated by an asterisk (*) can involve either or both Queensland and Commonwealth legislation. Chapter 22 (Matters of NES) deals specifically with the issues designated above from a Commonwealth perspective. Cross references between these chapters are provided as appropriate. 7.1.2 Information Sources This chapter draws heavily on technical assessments based on terrestrial and aquatic surveys as follows: July 2013 (aquatic – Appendix F; terrestrial – Appendix G) October 2013 (aquatic – Appendix F; terrestrial – Appendix G) February / March 2014 (aquatic – Addendum 1 of Appendix F; terrestrial – Appendix G); off- shore lake pipeline – Appendix H).

The complex data requirements for all three species and physicochemical parameters plus sediment are the basis for a comparative assessment of the population status of mullets in Burgas Bay. An assessment of the local anthropogenic impact was also made using hydrochemical analyses. The present study aims to extend and deepen the knowledge of the population- biological characteristics of three species of mullets (Mugil cephalus, Chelon auratus and Chelon saliens) from Burgas Bay by using an ecosystem scale research to determine the degree of contamination with biogenic substances and their impact on the mullet populations. INTRODUCTION Environmental changes due to anthropogenic factors affect all parts of the plant and animal world in inland waters, seas and oceans. The Black Sea is close to the so-called "red line" beyond which ecosystem degradation processes may become irreversible. Commercial fishing is the most unfavorable factor as it directly destroys a significant part of the populations of certain species, which in terms affects all other species that are in strictly specific relationships with the intensely exploited ones.

Schultz During my recent studios of the mullets of Venezuela I became interested in the gonci-ic relationships of the ^fuJ^ilidao and attempted to define the genera of this group of fishes. To accomplish this I examined specimens of the mugilid species that have been made genotypes, basing my diagnoses on specimens in the United States National Museum. The numerous genera of the family have not been well defined, and I failed to locate any key or contribution in which all the genera of the world were compared. This study is a provisional one. Much more work needs to be done before the various genera are thoroughly understood, especially in regard to those centering around Afugil and Chelon as herein defined. My conclusions were made after several hundred specimens from most parts of the world were examined; the material used is summarized under each genus. No attempt is made to place under each gemis all the species that may belong there, since that task would rccjuirc the n^cxamination of the types of all described species, scattered in museums throughout the world. Several ichtiiyologists have studied the Mugilidae, i)resenting in keys or diagnoses their understanding of certain genera. Among the recent ones may be mentioned Jordan and Evermann (U. S. Nat. Mus.
