| molecular identification of anisakis species from pleuronectiformes off the portuguese coast. | anisakid nematodes belonging to the anisakis simplex complex are highly prevalent in several fish species off the coast of portugal and are an important zoonotic problem in the iberian peninsula. two reproductively isolated sibling species of the anisakis simplex complex were identified from pleuronectiformes inhabiting the portuguese coast using restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp). recombinant genotypes corresponding to presumptive anisakis simplex sensu stricto and anisakis pegreff ... | 2006 | 16469172 |
| spatio-temporal distribution of soft-bottom epibenthic fauna on the cilician shelf (turkey), mediterranean sea. | spatio-temporal distribution of epifauna collected with a sledge was studied on the cilician shelf of the mediterranean sea. there were two different communities: the shallow community was restricted to water at 5 and 10 m deep with sandy bottom inhabited abundantly by conomurex persicus, arnoglossus laterna and murex trunculus. conomurex persicus, an introduced tropical species predominated the shallow zone and distinguished it from the deep zone. the deep community (25-150 m) lacked shallow wa ... | 2008 | 19419092 |
| aggregation patterns of macroendoparasites in phylogenetically related fish hosts. | summary: macroparasites are generally aggregated within their hosts with infection and aggregation levels resulting from a continuous arms race between maintaining high mating probability and host mortality low for which host and environmentally related factors contribute to some extent. here, infection and aggregation patterns of the macroendoparasites infecting the flatfish citharus linguatula, arnoglossus laterna, lepidorhombus boscii, scophthalmus rhombus and platichthys flesus in 3 areas al ... | 2010 | 20500921 |
| effect of codend circumference on the size selection of square-mesh codends in trawl fisheries. | it is well established that increasing mesh number in the circumference of a diamond-mesh trawl codend can reduce size selection for round fish, whereas selection for flat fish species is unaffected. this effect has also been documented in mediterranean trawl fisheries. in contrast, no information is available with regard to the effect of increasing mesh number in the circumference of square-mesh codends on the size selection of round fish and flat fish species. a field study was devised to brid ... | 2016 | 27472058 |
| diet overlap among flatfish species in the southern north sea. | the diets of two non-commercial flatfish species (solenette buglossidium luteum and scaldfish arnoglossus laterna) and two commercial flatfish species (dab limanda limanda and plaice pleuronectes platessa) were compared in a study area in the german bight (southern north sea) to investigate prey-resource partitioning between these species. the diets of a. laterna and b. luteum mainly comprised crustaceans (harpacticoids, amphipods, cumaceans and decapods), whereas the diet of l. limanda and p. p ... | 2012 | 22650434 |
| trophodynamic linkage between river runoff and coastal fishery yield elucidated by stable isotope data in the gulf of lions (nw mediterranean). | the link between climate-driven river runoff and sole fishery yields observed in the gulf of lions (nw mediterranean) was analysed using carbon- and nitrogen stable isotopes along the flatfish food webs. off the rhone river, the main terrestrial (river pom) and marine (seawater pom) sources of carbon differed in delta(13)c (-26.11 per thousand and -22.36 per thousand, respectively). surface sediment and suspended pom in plume water exhibited low delta(13)c (-24.38 per thousand and -24.70 per tho ... | 2004 | 14689296 |
