| a review of the lepocreadiidae (digenea, lepocreadioidea) from fishes of the waters around new caledonia. | the lepocreadiid fauna of new caledonia is reported and discussed and a new species and several new host and locality records presented. hypoporus plataxi sp. nov. from platax teira is described and distinguished from its only congener by its terminal genitalia, the structure of the anterior part of the alimentary system and other morphological features. new host and locality records and a description are given of lepotrema cf. clavatum ozaki, 1932 in sufflamen fraenatum. new host and locality r ... | 2012 | 22875674 |
| dionchus postoncomiracidia (monogenea: dionchidae) from the skin of blacktip sharks, carcharhinus limbatus (carcharhinidae). | postoncomiracidia of dionchus sp. are described from specimens collected from the skin of 2 blacktip sharks carcharhinus limbatus, captured in the northern gulf of mexico. the parasites resemble nonciliated oncomiracidia hatched from eggs laid by dionchus sp. on gills of a cobia rachycentron canadum and adults of dionchus remorae that were collected from gills of a common sharksucker echeneis naucrates, captured in association with a third blacktip shark. the hamuli of the postoncomiracidia were ... | 2000 | 10780540 |
| theoretical and computational fluid dynamics of an attached remora (echeneis naucrates). | remora fishes have a unique dorsal suction pad that allows them to form robust, reliable, and reversible attachment to a wide variety of host organisms and marine vessels. although investigations of the suction pad have been performed, the primary force that remoras must resist, namely fluid drag, has received little attention. this work provides a theoretical estimate of the drag experienced by an attached remora using computational fluid dynamics informed by geometry obtained from micro-comput ... | 2016 | 27421679 |
| remora fish suction pad attachment is enhanced by spinule friction. | the remora fishes are capable of adhering to a wide variety of natural and artificial marine substrates using a dorsal suction pad. the pad is made of serial parallel pectinated lamellae, which are homologous to the dorsal fin elements of other fishes. small tooth-like projections of mineralized tissue from the dorsal pad lamella, known as spinules, are thought to increase the remora's resistance to slippage and thereby enhance friction to maintain attachment to a moving host. in this work, the ... | 2015 | 26417010 |
| live sharksucker echeneis naucrates (linnaeus 1758) mitochondrial genome: the first report of echeneidae complete mitochondrial genome. | the complete mitochondrial genome of echeneis naucrates is 16,611 bp in length. it comprises a control region, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal rnas (rrnas) and 22 transfer rnas (trnas), with an arrangement typical of vertebrate mitochondrial genomes. base composition on the heavy strand is 30.24% a, 25.45% c, 15.02% g and 29.29% t. the control region is 940 bp in length, containing putative termination associated sequences (tass) and conserved sequence blocks (csbs). two copies of a tandem ... | 2015 | 24117185 |
| the egg bundles of the monogenean dionchus remorae and their attachment to the gills of the remora, echeneis naucrates. | gills of three remoras, echeneis naucrates l., from heron island, queensland, australia had few adults but many attached egg bundles of the monogenean, dionchus remorae. studies of fresh, and preserved and cleared, primary gill lamellae bearing egg bundles and investigations with scanning electron microscopy and serial wax sections reveal proliferated host epithelium surrounding and embedding part of a loop of egg-shell material to which eggs are tethered, but eggs in each bundle hang free of gi ... | 1990 | 2312225 |
| energetic cost of active branchial ventilation in the sharksucker, echeneis naucrates. | 1. sharksuckers use active branchial ventilation when swimming or at rest in stationary water. when attached to a moving object or when placed in a water current, they shift to ram gill ventilation as water velocity exceeds a certain threshold. 2. water velocities required for the transition from active to ram gill ventilation were from 10-50 cm s-1, depending on the size of the fish. 3. oxygen consumption increased between 3.7 and 5.7% when the fish shifted from ram gill ventilation to active b ... | 1983 | 6854201 |
