| the occurrence and infection dynamics of anisakis larvae in the black-scabbard fish, aphanopus carbo, chub mackerel, scomber japonicus, and oceanic horse mackerel, trachurus picturatus from madeira, portugal. | larval stages of anisakis spp. (nematoda: anisakidae) were found encapsulated or free in the viscera and abdominal cavity of the black-scabbard fish, aphanopus carbo, chub mackerel, scomber japonicus and oceanic horse mackerel, trachurus picturatus in madeiran waters. the prevalence of infection reached 97.2% for a. carbo, 69.5% for s. japonicus and 62.5% for t. picturatus. considerable differences in parasite intensities between a. carbo and both s. japonicus and t. picturatus were found, with ... | 2003 | 12756070 |
| molecular characterization of larval anisakid nematodes from marine fishes of madeira by a pcr-based approach, with evidence for a new species. | one-hundred and fifteen anisakid larvae from 3 different fish hosts, aphanopus carbo, scomber japonicus, and trachurus picturatus, caught in madeiran waters, were identified by pcr-rflp. three distinct species were identified in a. carbo, namely anisakis simplex sensu srricto, anisakis pegreffii, and anisakis ziphidarum; 5 in s. japonicus, i.e., a. simplex s.s., a. pegreffii, anisakis physeteris, anisakis typica, and a. ziphidarum; and 3 in t. picturatus, i.e., a. simplex s.s., a. pegreffii, and ... | 2005 | 16539027 |
| hg and metallothionein-like proteins in the black scabbardfish aphanopus carbo. | aphanopus carbo fishery is economically relevant in portugal (madeira archipelago) since the 19th century and an important diet component of its inhabitants. however, hg levels in this species are a cause of concern due to the insufficient knowledge of hg subcellular distribution, accumulation and detoxification mechanisms. hg concentrations (total and subcellular) and metallothionein-like proteins (mts) were measured in the gills, muscle and liver of a. carbo of different size (50-150 cm) to as ... | 2007 | 17368905 |
| ultrastructural description of ceratomyxa tenuispora (myxozoa), a parasite of the marine fish aphanopus carbo (trichiuridae), from the atlantic coast of madeira island (portugal). | the first ultrastructural description of ceratomyxa tenuispora kabata, 1960 (myxozoa, bivalvulida) from madeira island (portugal), a parasite found in the gall bladder of the commercially important black-scabbard fish, aphanopus carbo lowe is presented. this parasite possesses spherical to ellipsoidal disporous trophozoites. spores have a central crescent-shaped body averaging 11.0 microm in length, 28.5 microm in thickness and 12.1 microm in width. the valves have two long opposite lateral proc ... | 2007 | 19245187 |
| endohelminth parasites of the leafscale gulper shark, centrophorus squamosus (bonnaterre, 1788) (squaliformes:centrophoridae) off madeira archipelago. | the endohelminth parasite fauna of a deep water shark, the leafscale gulper shark, centrophorus squamosus, examined from madeiran waters, from september 2009 to january 2010, consisted of larval and juvenile cestodes of two orders, namely trypanorhyncha and tetraphyllidea, and l3 stages of anisakis spp. infection with anisakis spp. could be due to the shark's opportunistic feeding on squids and black-scabbard fish, aphanopus carbo, which is heavily parasitized by anisakis spp. in madeira waters. ... | 2014 | 24827105 |
| phylogeography and demographic history of the deep-sea fish aphanopus carbo (lowe, 1839) in the ne atlantic: vicariance followed by secondary contact or speciation? | comparative phylogeography for the commercially valuable deep-sea fish aphanopus carbo from a large area of the ne atlantic revealed remarkable patterns of concordance using two mtdna markers. two strongly supported phylogroups were identified from complete sequences of the control region (731-733 bp) and partial sequences of cytochrome b (414 bp) in one of these groups, all sequences from the mid-atlantic ridge (faraday seamount), mainland portugal and madeira were clustered together. the other ... | 2007 | 16876444 |
| larval trypanorhynchs (platyhelminthes: eucestoda: trypanorhyncha) from black-scabbard fish, aphanopus carbo and oceanic horse mackerel, trachurus picturatus in madeira (portugal). | four different types of trypanorhynch postlarvae were found attached to the stomach mucosa, external stomach wall or free in the body cavity of two marine fishes from madeira, namely blackscabbard fish, aphanopus carbo and oceanic horse mackerel, trachurus picturatus. morphological features shown by sem indicated that the postlarvae belonged to the species tentacularia coryphaenae, sphyriocephalus tergestinus, nybelinia lingualis and possibly n. yamaguitii. prevalence [mean intensity (range)] of ... | 2003 | 14710629 |
| cystacanths of bolbosoma vasculosum in the black scabbard fish aphanopus carbo, oceanic horse mackerel trachurus picturatus and common dolphin delphinus delphis from madeira, portugal. | cystacanths of the acanthocephalan, bolbosoma vasculosum rudolphi 1819, were found to be encapsulated in the connective tissues of the viscera of the black scabbard fish, aphanopus carbo and oceanic horse mackerel, trachurus picturatusfrom madeira, atlantic ocean. juvenile worms were obtained from the intestine of a stranded common dolphin, delphinus delphis, also from madeira. cystacanths were 11-15 mm long, with a proboscis of 18-19 longitudinal rows, eight hooks per row, and two sets of trunk ... | 2000 | 10881281 |
