| areospora rohanae n.gen. n.sp. (microsporidia; areosporiidae n. fam.) elicits multi-nucleate giant-cell formation in southern king crab (lithodes santolla). | this paper utilises histological, ultrastructure and molecular phylogenetic data to describe a novel genus and species (areospora rohanae n.gen., n.sp.) within the phylum microsporidia. phylogenetic and morphological distinction from other known lineages within the phylum also provide strong support for erection of a new family (areosporiidae n. fam) to contain the parasite. recognised via lesions observed by workers in king crab processing facilities in southern chile, the parasite elicits gian ... | 2014 | 24566191 |
| rearing and growth of the octopus robsonella fontaniana (cephalopoda: octopodidae) from planktonic hatchlings to benthic juveniles. | globally, octopus larviculture is one of the challenges faced in the attempt to diversify aquaculture and achieve cephalopod farming. currently, only juveniles of octopus vulgaris, octopus joubini, and enteroctopus dofleini have been obtained at an experimental level. this is the first study to look at the characteristics of planktonic and benthic robsonella fontaniana juveniles in an effort to analyze the morphometric changes occurring during their planktonic and benthic phases and to explore t ... | 2010 | 20413796 |
