parasite acquisition by larval coral-reef fishes. | of 164 fish larvae belonging to 11 species sampled from the island of moorea, french polynesia, 30% had at least one parasite individual and parasite prevalence ranged between 0 for chaetodon citrinellus and 80% for parupeneus barberinus. parasites were present only in larvae that had fed and were present in the gut but absent from gills, body cavity and muscle. parasites appeared to be acquired by ingestion of intermediate hosts when the larvae fed on the outer slope, prior to reef colonization ... | 2012 | 23130697 |
opecoelidae (digenea) in northern great barrier reef goatfishes (perciformes: mullidae). | the opecoelidae (digenea) of eight species of goatfishes (perciformes: mullidae) were studied off lizard island on the northern great barrier reef (gbr). host species included mulloidichthys flavolineatus (lacépède), m. vanicolensis (valenciennes), parupeneus barberinus (lacépède), p. ciliatus (lacépède), p. cyclostomus (lacépède), p. indicus (shaw), p. multifasciatus (quoy & gaimard), p. spilurus (bleeker) and p. trifasciatus (lacépède). seven opecoelid species were found, of which paropecoelus ... | 2013 | 23404760 |
