| clues to the location of the spawning area and larval migration characteristics of anguilla mossambica as inferred from otolith microstructural analyses. | the spawning area location and the larval migration characteristics of anguilla mossambica were studied through the examination of early life-history traits (elht) inferred from otolith microstructural analyses of 122 glass a. mossambica collected along the eastern coast of madagascar, in the south-western indian ocean. backcalculated hatching dates of leptocephali that recruited between november 2005 and february 2006 suggested that spawning was continuous from june to november 2005, although i ... | 2009 | 20735677 |
| redescription of heliconema africanum (linstow, 1899) n. comb. (nematoda: physalopteridae), a nematode parasite of freshwater eels (anguilla spp.) in south africa. | the little-known nematode species heliconema africanum (linstow, 1899) n. comb. (physalopteridae) is redescribed based on light and scanning electron microscopical examinations of specimens collected from the stomach of the african longfin eel anguilla mossambica (peters) in the nahoon river, eastern cape province, south africa. this species, previously misidentified as heliconema longissimum (ortlepp, 1922), is a common parasite of eels in south africa. the systematic status of h. longissimum, ... | 2013 | 23793500 |

| development of a key using morphological characters to distinguish south-western indian ocean anguillid glass eels. | two morphological characters were examined in 4099 anguillid glass eels sampled in four south-western indian ocean islands, and resulting identifications were tested using genetic analysis. distance between the origin of the dorsal and anal fins as related to total length and tail and caudal fin pigmentation enabled formulation of a useful field identification key, which was able to discriminate 4036 glass eels of the regional species anguilla bicolor bicolor, anguilla marmorata and anguilla mos ... | 2009 | 20735695 |
| regional variation in otolith sr:ca ratios of african longfinned eel anguilla mossambica and mottled eel anguilla marmorata: a challenge to the classic tool for reconstructing migratory histories of fishes. | otolith sr:ca ratios of the african longfinned eel anguilla mossambica and giant mottled eel anguilla marmorata from nine freshwater sites in four rivers of south africa were analysed to reconstruct their migratory life histories between freshwater and saltwater habitats. for a. mossambica, the sr:ca ratios in the otolith edge differed significantly among rivers and had large effect sizes, but did not differ among sites within a river. otolith sr:ca ratios did not differ among rivers for a. marm ... | 2012 | 22803718 |
| revision of the genus anguillicola yamaguti, 1935 (nematoda: anguillicolidae) of the swimbladder of eels, including descriptions of two new species, a. novaezelandiae sp. n. and a. papernai sp. n. | the genus anguillicola is reviewed on the basis of the examination of some type specimens and other material. two new species are described: a. novaezelandiae sp. n. from anguilla australis (type host) from new zealand and a. anguilla from italy (conspecific nematodes were originally reported from italy as a. australiensis) and a. papernai sp. n. from anguilla mossambica from south africa. at present the genus anguillicola comprises the following five valid species: a. globiceps yamaguti, 1935, ... | 1988 | 3169643 |
| parasite communities in eels of the island of reunion (indian ocean): a lesson in parasite introduction. | eel populations from the small rivers on the island of reunion (french overseas department in the indian ocean) were investigated with respect to the occurrence and abundance of helminths during the autumn of 2005. the native species anguilla marmorata (n = 80), anguilla bicolor (n = 23), and anguilla mossambica (n = 15) were studied. six species of helminths were identified, four of them having a definitely nonnative status. furthermore, unidentified intra-intestinal juvenile cestodes and extra ... | 2008 | 18288491 |
| anguillicola papernai (nematoda: anguillicolidae) and other helminths parasitizing the african longfin eel anguilla mossambica. | the swim bladder nematode anguillicola papernai moravec & taraschewski, 1988 has been investigated as regards its occurrence in longfin eels anguilla mossambica (peters) in rivers in south africa. a. papernai revealed a prevalence of around 50% and a mean intensity of about 6 adult worms at 1 sampling site but were less abundant in 3 others. field observations suggest a more narrow habitat preference than that of anguillicola crassus and a seasonal pattern of abundance. african longfin eels harb ... | 2005 | 15819434 |
| paraquimperia africana n. sp (nematoda : quimperiidae), a new intestinal parasite of the eel anguilla mossambica peters, in south africa. | a new seuratoid nematode of the family quimperiidae, paraquimperia africana n. sp., is described from the small intestine of the longfin eel, anguilla mossambica peters, from the eastern cape province, south africa. the new species is characterized mainly by the presence of a ventral sucker in mature males, short spicules (147-171 microm), the number and arrangement of caudal papillae, the postesophageal position of the excretory pore, and by the slender female tail. in this new species, a varia ... | 2000 | 10701573 |
