| capillaria plectropomi n. sp. (nematoda: capillariidae), a new intestinal parasite of the leopard coral grouper plectropomus leopardus (serranidae) off new caledonia. | a new nematode species, capillaria plectropomi n. sp. (capillariidae), is described from the intestine of the leopard coral grouper plectropomus leopardus (lacepède) from coral reefs off new caledonia. the new species, belonging to the subgenus neocapillaria moravec, 1987, differs from other congeneric species of this subgenus from marine fishes mainly in the length (168-186 μm), shape and structure of the spicule. it is characterized, in the male, by the presence of two well-developed dorsolate ... | 2014 | 25531932 |
| trace element bioaccumulation in reef fish from new caledonia: influence of trophic groups and risk assessment for consumers. | fourteen trace elements (ag, as, cd, co, cr, cu, fe, hg, mn, ni, pb, se, v, and zn) were analyzed in livers and muscles from 22 fish species from the new caledonia lagoon, which is subjected to important chemical inputs due to intense land-based mining activities (new caledonia is the third largest world producer of ni). the results of this baseline research indicated that livers generally concentrated trace elements to a greater extent than muscles. nevertheless, the overall trace element conce ... | 2013 | 23623270 |
