Zootaxa, Acanthocephala, Annelida, Axine Belones, Marine Fish Zootaxa 1063: 33–52 (2005) ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ ZOOTAXA 1063 Copyright © 2005 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) A checklist of parasitic helminths reported from sixty-five species of marine fish from Turkey including two new records of monoge- neans AHMET ÖKTENER Cihannüma mahallesi, Hüsnü savman street no:22-5 80690 Besiktas, ¤stanbul, Turkey; [email protected] Abstract This study provides a checklist of 114 parasitic helminths (87 Platyhelminthes; 16 Nemathelminthes; 9 Acanthocephala; 2 Annelida) reported from 65 marine fish collected from Turkey since 1931, including locations where fish were collected. Two species of microcotylids (Monogenea): Pyragraphorus pyragraphorus (Mac Callum and Mac Callum, 1913) on garrick, Trachynotus ovatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Carangidae), from the Mediterranean Sea and Axine belones Abildgaard, 1794 on garfish, Belone belone (Linnaeus,1761) (Belonidae), from the Sea of Marmara are reported for the first time in Turkish coastal waters. Key words: Acanthocephala, Annelida, Axine belones, marine fish, Monogenea, Nemathelminthes, Nematoda, Platyhelminthes, Pyragraphorus pyragraphorus, Turkey Introduction Since Monod (1931) reported the first marine fish parasite, Ceratothoa sp (Cymothoidae: Isopoda) on the Mediterranean boques, Boops boops (Linnaeus, 1758) (Perciformes: Sparidae), from the Turkish coasts, there have been some 31 publications that have reported parasites from 65 species of marine fish in the region (e.g. Sezen & Price, 1967; Altunel, 1982; Oguz 1995; Akmirza, 1998a, 1998b 2000a, 2000b, 2001; TokÔen, 1999; Hossucu, 1986). These reports have generally focused on the Marmara Sea and the Aegean Sea, and the Black Sea has been less well studied. Knowledge of the polyopisthocotylean monogeneans is especially important because they are generally considered to be serious pathogens that can cause severe damage to their fish hosts. Microcotylids, for example, feed on the host’s blood and may cause severe anaemia and in some cases mortality (Roberts 1989). Accepted by N. Dronen: 2 Sept. 2005; published: 14 Oct. 2005 33.

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.

It is a hyperparasite that attaches itself to the dorsal face of isopods, themselves parasites in the buccal cavity of fishes. In this study, Cy. bellones was found on Ceratothoa parallela (Otto, 1828), a cymothoid isopod parasite of the sparid fish Boops boops off Algeria in the Mediterranean Sea. We provide, for the first time, molecular barcoding information of a hyperparasitic monogenean, the parasitic crustacean host, and the fish host, with COI sequences.

This process aims to achieve the Good Environmental Status (GES) through the elaborated 11 Ecological Objectives and their respective common indicators. Since 2008, Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention have adopted the EcAp and agreed on a roadmap for its implementation. First phases of the EcAp process led to the accomplishment of 5 steps of the scheduled 7-steps process such as: 1) Definition of an Ecological Vision for the Mediterranean; 2) Setting common Mediterranean strategic goals; 3) Identification of an important ecosystem properties and assessment of ecological status and pressures; 4) Development of a set of ecological objectives corresponding to the Vision and strategic goals; and 5) Derivation of operational objectives with indicators and target levels.

July 2015, 69 pp. 2 Executive Summary On July 15, 2013, NMFS received a petition to list 81 species of marine organisms as endangered or threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). If an ESA petition is found to present substantial scientific or commercial information that the petitioned action may be warranted, a status review shall be promptly commenced (16 U.S.C. 1533(b)(3)(A)). NMFS determined that for 27 of the 81 species, including the island grouper (Mycteroperca fusca), the petition had sufficient merit for consideration and that a status review was warranted (79 FR 10104, February 24, 2014).

Three gastrocotylid genera share similar morphology and anatomy but are distinguished by this character: Pseudaxine Parona & Perugia, 1890 has no vagina, Allogastrocotyle Nasir & Fuentes Zambrano, 1983 has two vaginae, and Pseudaxinoides Lebedev, 1968 has multiple vaginae. In the course of a study of Pseudaxine trachuri Parona & Perugia 1890, we found specimens with structures resembling “multiple vaginae”; we compared them with specimens without vaginae in terms of both morphology and molecular characterisitics (COI barcode), and found that they belonged to the same species.

Matt Longshaw & Stephen Feist Cefas Weymouth Laboratory Barrack Road, The Nothe, Weymouth, Dorset DT4 8UB 1. Introduction This review provides a summary of the parasites, pathogens and contaminant related impacts on deep sea fish normally found at depths greater than about 200m There is a clear focus on worldwide commercial species but has an emphasis on records and reports from the north east Atlantic. In particular, the focus of species following discussion were as follows: deep-water squalid sharks (e.g. Centrophorus squamosus and Centroscymnus coelolepis), black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo) (except in ICES area IX – fielded by Portuguese), roundnose grenadier (Coryphaenoides rupestris), orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus), blue ling (Molva dypterygia), torsk (Brosme brosme), greater silver smelt (Argentina silus), Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), deep-sea redfish (Sebastes mentella), alfonsino (Beryx spp.), red blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo). However, it should be noted that in some cases no disease or contaminant data exists for these species.
