Fauna and Flora in the Waters Adjacent to the Sado Marine Biological Station, Niigata University: Supplement 2 With the Compliments of the Authors Fauna and Flora in the Waters adjacent to the Sado Marine Biological Station, Niigata University: Supplement 2 Yoshiharu HONMA and Takehiko KITAMI Reprinted from Report of the Sado Marine Biological Station Niigata University No. 25, March, 1995 Rep. Sado Mar. Biol. Stat., Niigata Univ., No. 25, pp. 13-30 (1995) Fauna and Flora in the Waters adjacent to the Sado Marine ) Biological Station, Niigata University: Supplement 2' Yoshiharu HoNmA2) and Takehiko KITAmi2) Abstract: The present paper adds further many species to the fauna of Sado Island with selected references. In recognition of 25th anniversary of the foundation of Sado Marine Biological Station, catalogues of the biological specimens deposited in the research museum were made (Honma and Kitami, 1978, 1979). In addition, the plankton biota occurring in Tassha Bay, a small inlet located near the Station, was reported by Abe, Honma and Kitami (1984). More recently, a list of aquatic (freshwater) organisms found in the inland waters of Niigata Prefecture, including Sado Island, was published follow- ing a twenty-year limnological survey by the Niigata Freshwater Ecology Research Group (Honma, et al., 1988). Owing to the continual efforts to collect reference plant and animal specimens, considerable numbers of species have been newly secured. Moreover, ongoing tax- onomic studies have resolted in a number of revisions and name changes. Therefore, a short communication concerning the additional collections of animals is justified, although some individual fishes and cetaceans have been reported elsewhere (Honma, 1990, 1991; Honma and Kitami, 1980; etc.). We are very grateful to Prof. Dr. Ju-shey Ho, California State University, U.S. A., who visited the station twice during his work on the taxonomy of small crusta- ceans parasitic on various marine animals, and who, following his reports of 12 new species from the waters adjacent to Sado Island, promoted very much systematic parasitology in the Sea of Japan.

František Moravec1 and Diane P. Barton2 1 Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic; 2 Department of Primary Industries and Resources, Northern Territory Government, Berrimah, Northern Territory, Australia; Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Fannie Bay, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia Abstract: The following six species of the Philometridae (Nematoda: Dracunculoidea) were recorded from marine fishes off the northern coast of Australia in 2015 and 2016: Philometra arafurensis sp. n. and Philometra papillicaudata sp. n. from the ovary and the tissue behind the gills, respectively, of the emperor red snapper Lutjanus sebae (Cuvier); Philometra mawsonae sp. n. and Dentiphilometra malabarici sp. n. from the ovary and the tissue behind the gills, respectively, of the Malabar blood snapper Lutjanus malabaricus (Bloch et Schneider); Philometra sp. from the ovary of the goldbanded jobfish Pristipomoides multidens (Day) (Perci- formes: all Lutjanidae); and Digitiphilometroides marinus (Moravec et de Buron, 2009) comb. n. from the body cavity of the cobia Rachycentron canadum (Linnaeus) (Perciformes: Rachycentridae). Digitiphilometroides gen. n. is established based on the presence of unique digital cuticular ornamentations on the female body. New gonad-infecting species, P. arafurensis and P. mawsonae, are charac- terised mainly by the length of spicules (252–264 µm and 351–435 µm, respectively) and the structure of the gubernaculum, whereas P.

  • Nematoda: Philometridae) from Freshwater Drum (Aplodinotus Grunniens)
    J. Helminthol. Soc. Wash. 60(1), 1993, pp. 48-54 infrastructure of the First-Stage Larvae of a Philometra sp. (Nematoda: Philometridae) from Freshwater Drum (Aplodinotus grunniens) ROSMARIE KELLY AND JOHN L. CRITES Department of Zoology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 ABSTRACT. An ultrastructural study of the first-stage larvae of Philometra sp., utilizing scanning and transmission electron microscopy, was undertaken to understand behaviors of this larval stage better. Larvae have an egg tooth present on the dorsal labial ridge and may penetrate the gut wall of the copepod host through its use. Internally, first-stage larvae were found to have a partially developed digestive system that is filled with a yolklike material and ends in storage cells. Larvae may not feed at this stage, relying instead on this material for an energy source. The caudal end of the first-stage larva consists of a concave, oval-spatulate structure abundantly supplied with muscle. Muscular contractions possibly allow the attachment to particles seen during the free- swimming phase of this larval stage. KEY WORDS: Philometra sp., Nematoda, morphology, ultrastructure, SEM, TEM.

  • Parasites of Coral Reef Fish: How Much Do We Know? with a Bibliography of Fish Parasites in New Caledonia
    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 155-190 July 2010 Parasites of coral reef fish: how much do we know? With a bibliography of fish parasites in New Caledonia Jean-Lou Justine (1) UMR 7138 Systématique, Adaptation, Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 57, rue Cuvier, F-75321 Paris Cedex 05, France (2) Aquarium des lagons, B.P. 8185, 98807 Nouméa, Nouvelle-Calédonie Corresponding author: Jean-Lou Justine; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A compilation of 107 references dealing with fish parasites in New Caledonia permitted the production of a parasite-host list and a host-parasite list. The lists include Turbellaria, Monopisthocotylea, Polyopisthocotylea, Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, Isopoda, Acanthocephala and Hirudinea, with 580 host-parasite combinations, corresponding with more than 370 species of parasites. Protozoa are not included. Platyhelminthes are the major group, with 239 species, including 98 monopisthocotylean monogeneans and 105 digeneans. Copepods include 61 records, and nematodes include 41 records. The list of fish recorded with parasites includes 195 species, in which most (ca. 170 species) are coral reef associated, the rest being a few deep-sea, pelagic or freshwater fishes. The serranids, lethrinids and lutjanids are the most commonly represented fish families. Although a list of published records does not provide a reliable estimate of biodiversity because of the important bias in publications being mainly in the domain of interest of the authors, it provides a basis to compare parasite biodiversity with other localities, and especially with other coral reefs. The present list is probably the most complete published account of parasite biodiversity of coral reef fishes.

The female Pbilometra americana Ekbaum, 1933 is a common subcutaneous parasite of the starry flounder, !&!!g!![reg stellatug (Pallas) of Yaquina Bay, Lincoln County, Oregon. Maturation of this worm produces noticeable red cysts subcutaneously between the fin and tail rays and similarly on the operculum. The gravid female penetrates the epidermis and leaves the fish. In sea water, the female bursts to rel-ease thousands of larvae which are presumably then ingested by an intermediate host. One thousand two hundred twenty-four starry flounders were examined and 280 fish were found to be infected. Three hundred forty-three female P, americqna were collected and studied. No male was found. The percent of infection decreased as the size of the flounders increased. This suggests that the intermediate host for P. anericana is primarily in the diet of the smalLer fish. Col-Lection data indicates that there is no seasonaL occurrence of the infection in this locality, but no conclusion was reached as to the time required for the parasite to become gravid and Leave the host fish. The digestive and reproductive systems of P. americana change drasticalLy as the animal matures. There is a multipLication of celLs in the intestinal walL during maturation. There is an atrophy of the anus, vagina and vul-va by the time the animal has become pink in color with worm-Like embryos in the uterus.

Summary Ectoparasites, attaching mainly to the fins or gills, are a particularly conspicuous part of the parasite fauna of marine fishes. In particular the dominant copepods, have received much interest due to their effects on host populations. However, still little is known on the copepod fauna on fishes for many localities and their temporal stability as long-term observations are largely absent. The aim of this project was two-fold: 1) to deliver a current inventory of ectoparasitic copepods in fishes in the southern Wadden Sea around Texel and 2) to compare the current parasitic copepod fauna with the one from 1968 in the same area, using data published in an internal NIOZ report and additional unpublished original notes. In total, 47 parasite species have been recorded on 52 fish species in the southern Wadden Sea to date. The two copepod species, where quantitative comparisons between 1968 and 2010 were possible for their host, the European flounder (Platichthys flesus), showed different trends: Whereas Acanthochondria cornuta seems not to have altered its infection rate or per host abundance between years, Lepeophtheirus pectoralis has shifted towards infection of smaller hosts, as well as to a stronger increase of per-host abundance with increasing host length.

Thieltges2 1 Department of Life Sciences, Faculty of Sciences of Sfax, Sfax University, Sfax, Tunisia 2 Department of Coastal Systems, NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research and Utrecht University, Den Burg Texel, Netherlands ABSTRACT Background. Parasites can play various roles in the invasion of non-native species, but these are still understudied in marine ecosystems. This also applies to invasions from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal, the so-called Lessepsian migration. In this study, we investigated the role of parasites in the invasion of the Lessepsian migrant Sphyraena chrysotaenia in the Tunisian Mediterranean Sea. Methods. We compared metazoan parasite richness, prevalence and intensity of S. chrysotaenia (Perciformes: Sphyraenidae) with infections in its native congener Sphyraena sphyraena by sampling these fish species at seven locations along the Tunisian coast. Additionally, we reviewed the literature to identify native and invasive parasite species recorded in these two hosts. Results. Our results suggest the loss of at least two parasite species of the invasive fish. At the same time, the Lessepsian migrant has co-introduced three parasite species during Submitted 13 March 2018 Accepted 7 August 2018 the initial migration to the Mediterranean Sea, that are assumed to originate from the Published 14 September 2018 Red Sea of which only one parasite species has been reported during the spread to Corresponding author Tunisian waters.

  • THE LISTING of PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T
    August 2017 Guido T. Poppe A LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS - V1.00 THE LISTING OF PHILIPPINE MARINE MOLLUSKS Guido T. Poppe INTRODUCTION The publication of Philippine Marine Mollusks, Volumes 1 to 4 has been a revelation to the conchological community. Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented. All this caused an acceleration in the nomenclatural field: both in quantity and in quality of expertise and fieldwork. The above changes are not without huge problematics. Many studies are carried out on the wide diversity of these problems and even books are written on the subject.

  • Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans
    Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans by Robert George Young A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert George Young, March, 2016 ABSTRACT MOLECULAR SPECIES DELIMITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADIAN MARINE PLANKTONIC CRUSTACEANS Robert George Young Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Sarah Adamowicz Dr. Cathryn Abbott Zooplankton are a major component of the marine environment in both diversity and biomass and are a crucial source of nutrients for organisms at higher trophic levels. Unfortunately, marine zooplankton biodiversity is not well known because of difficult morphological identifications and lack of taxonomic experts for many groups. In addition, the large taxonomic diversity present in plankton and low sampling coverage pose challenges in obtaining a better understanding of true zooplankton diversity. Molecular identification tools, like DNA barcoding, have been successfully used to identify marine planktonic specimens to a species. However, the behaviour of methods for specimen identification and species delimitation remain untested for taxonomically diverse and widely-distributed marine zooplanktonic groups. Using Canadian marine planktonic crustacean collections, I generated a multi-gene data set including COI-5P and 18S-V4 molecular markers of morphologically-identified Copepoda and Thecostraca (Multicrustacea: Hexanauplia) species. I used this data set to assess generalities in the genetic divergence patterns and to determine if a barcode gap exists separating interspecific and intraspecific molecular divergences, which can reliably delimit specimens into species. I then used this information to evaluate the North Pacific, Arctic, and North Atlantic biogeography of marine Calanoida (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) plankton.

This shell morphology occurs mostly within the superfamily Cerithioidea. Several morphologic characters of cerithiform shells are adap- tive within five broad functional areas: (1) defence from shell-peeling predators (external sculpture, pre- adult internal barriers, preadult varices, adult aperture) (2) burrowing and infaunal life (burrowing sculp- tures, bent and elongated inhalant adult siphon, plough-like adult outer lip, flattened dorsal region of last whorl), (3) clamping of the aperture onto a solid substrate (broad tangential adult aperture), (4) stabilisa- tion of the shell when epifaunal (broad adult outer lip and at least three types of swellings located on the left ventrolateral side of the last whorl in the adult stage), and (5) righting after accidental overturning (pro- jecting dorsal tubercles or varix on the last or penultimate whorl, in one instance accompanied by hollow ventral tubercles that are removed by abrasion against the substrate in the adult stage). Most of these char- acters are made feasible by determinate growth and a countdown ontogenetic programme.

  • APPENDIX 1 Classified List of Fishes Mentioned in the Text, with Scientific and Common Names
    APPENDIX 1 Classified list of fishes mentioned in the text, with scientific and common names. ___________________________________________________________ Scientific names and classification are from Nelson (1994). Families are listed in the same order as in Nelson (1994), with species names following in alphabetical order. The common names of British fishes mostly follow Wheeler (1978). Common names of foreign fishes are taken from Froese & Pauly (2002). Species in square brackets are referred to in the text but are not found in British waters. Fishes restricted to fresh water are shown in bold type. Fishes ranging from fresh water through brackish water to the sea are underlined; this category includes diadromous fishes that regularly migrate between marine and freshwater environments, spawning either in the sea (catadromous fishes) or in fresh water (anadromous fishes). Not indicated are marine or freshwater fishes that occasionally venture into brackish water. Superclass Agnatha (jawless fishes) Class Myxini (hagfishes)1 Order Myxiniformes Family Myxinidae Myxine glutinosa, hagfish Class Cephalaspidomorphi (lampreys)1 Order Petromyzontiformes Family Petromyzontidae [Ichthyomyzon bdellium, Ohio lamprey] Lampetra fluviatilis, lampern, river lamprey Lampetra planeri, brook lamprey [Lampetra tridentata, Pacific lamprey] Lethenteron camtschaticum, Arctic lamprey] [Lethenteron zanandreai, Po brook lamprey] Petromyzon marinus, lamprey Superclass Gnathostomata (fishes with jaws) Grade Chondrichthiomorphi Class Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous
