| bucephalidae (digenea) from epinephelines (serranidae: perciformes) from the waters off new caledonia, including neidhartia lochepintade n. sp. | many bucephalid species, mainly of the subfamily prosorhynchinae, have been described from epinepheline serranids (groupers) throughout the world's oceans. in this paper eight named prosorhynchine species are described and/or illustrated from epinepheline fishes from new caledonia. neidhartia lochepintade n. sp. in epinephelus chlorostigma differs from other neidhartia spp. in various combinations of distinct body-size, rhynchus size, previtelline and pre-mouth distance, post-testicular distance ... | 2013 | 24351242 |

(monogenea: diplectanidae) from variola louti (perciformes: serranidae) off new caledonia. | pseudorhabdosynochus hirundineus n. sp. is described from specimens collected from the gills of variola louti off nouméa, new caledonia, south pacific. no diplectanid was found on v. albimarginata from the same location. the male sclerotised quadriloculate organ of p. hirundineus is 42 microm in internal length, with a long posterior tube; and the sclerotised vagina, 36 microm in length, is composed of a long tube with anterior open trumpet and two posterior, heavily sclerotised chambers. the tw ... | 2005 | 16132869 |
| lipid characteristics of five epinephelinae fishes, epinephelus fasciatus, epinephelus retouti, cephalopholis aurantia, cephalopholis miniatus, and variola louti, in the coral reef. | the lipid and fatty acid compositions of the muscle and liver of five epinephelinae fishes (epinephelus fasciatus, epinephelus retouti, cephalopholis aurantia, cephalopholis miniatus, and variola louti) in the coral reef were investigated. the major polyunsaturated fatty acid (pufa) in the epinephelinae fish triacylglycerols was 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid; dha), which was similar to high levels of dha in the depot triacylglycerols of highly migratory fishes. in the phospholipids of all specim ... | 2014 | 24717545 |
