| a tropical assemblage of ectoparasites: gill and head parasites of lethrinus miniatus (teleostei, lethrinidae). | aspects of the community ecology of metazoan ectoparasites of lethrinus miniatus (teleostei. lethrinidae) from 3 localities on the great barrier reef were examined. twelve species of monogenea, 6 of copepoda, 2 species of adult and several larval isopoda and 1 leech were found. total parasite numbers reach 3500 per host, and prevalence of infection with a particular parasite species reached 100% in some species. numbers of parasite species per fish varied from 5 to 11. four parasite species were ... | 1994 | 7883437 |
| acanthocolpidae (digenea) of marine fishes off new caledonia, with the descriptions of two new species. | the following acanthocolpid species are reported from new caledonia. acaenodera nautili sp. n. from conger cinereus rüppel differs from other acaenodera species in details of the body-spination, the sucker-ratio and the bipartite seminal vesicle; stephanostomum murielae sp. n. from carangoides hedlandensis (whitley) differs from most species of stephanostomum in the average of 36 circum-oral spines, the circum-oral spine rows with a ventral hiatus and the anterior extent of the vitellarium being ... | 2011 | 21539137 |
| species of stephanostomum looss, 1899 (digenea: acanthocolpidae) from fishes of australian and south pacific waters, including five new species. | nine species of stephanostomum are described from australian and southern pacific marine fishes: stephanostomum madhaviae n. sp. [syn. s. orientalis of madhavi (1976)] from caranx ignobilis, off hope island, queensland, with 30-34 circum-oral spines and vitelline fields almost reaching to the posterior extremity of the cirrus-sac; s. bicoronatum (stossich, 1883) from argyrosomus hololepidotus, off southport broadwater, queensland; s. votonimoli n. sp. from scomberoides lysan, off moorea, french ... | 2003 | 12878848 |
| hamacreadium cribbi n. sp. (digenea: opecoelidae) from lethrinus miniatus (forster) (perciformes: lethrinidae) from new caledonian waters. | a new species of hamacreadium linton, 1910, h. cribbi n. sp. is described from lethrinus miniatus (forster) from the waters off new caledonia. it is compared with the other species of hamacreadium reported from lethrinids and is characterised by the size of its eggs which tend to be larger [72-93 (84) vs 54-81 (56) µm long] than those of other species. other characteristics, such as body size and shape and internal ratios, differentiate h. cribbi from other species; these differences are discuss ... | 2016 | 27638731 |
| cucullanid nematodes (nematoda: cucullanidae) from deep-sea marine fishes off new caledonia, including dichelyne etelidis n. sp. | three nematode species of the family cucullanidae, intestinal parasites of marine perciform fishes, are reported from off new caledonia: cucullanus bourdini petter & le bel, 1992 from the crimson jobfish pristipomoides filamentosus (valenciennes) and the goldflag jobfish pristipomoides auricilla (jordan, evermann & tanaka) (new host record) (both lutjanidae); dichelyne etelidis n. sp. from the deep-water red snapper etelis carbunculus cuvier (type-host) and the deep-water longtail red snapper et ... | 2011 | 21279559 |
| new data on dracunculoid nematodes from fishes off new caledonia, including four new species of philometra (philometridae) and ichthyofilaria (guyanemidae). | recent examinations of newly obtained materials of dracunculoid nematodes (dracunculoidea) parasitizing marine fishes off new caledonia, south pacific, revealed the presence of several nematodes of the genera philometra costa, 1845 (philometridae) and ichthyofilaria yamaguti, 1935 (guyanemidae), including the following four new species: philometra priacanthi sp. n. (males) from the gonads of priacanthus hamrur (forsskål) (priacanthidae), philometra tenuicauda sp. n. (male and mature and gravid f ... | 2009 | 19606788 |
