| heavy metal distribution in different fish species from the mauritania coast. | cadmium, copper, zinc and mercury concentrations were determined in pelagic and benthic fishes from the mauritania coast. the pelagic fishes consisted of the round sardinella sardinella aurita (clupeidae), the chub mackerel scomber japonicus (scombridae) and the atlantic horse mackerel trachurus trachurus (carangidae). four benthic species were considered, three serranidae: the painted comber serranus scriba, the golden grouper epinephelus costae, and the niger hind cephalopholis nigri and one m ... | 1999 | 10481293 |
| five new species of pseudorhabdosynochus (monogenea: diplectanidae) from the gills of epinephelus costae (teleostei: serranidae). | a survey of the gill parasites of epinephelus costae (teleostei: serranidae) was conducted between 2001 and 2005 in the gulf of gabès (tunisia). five new species of diplectanidae (monogenea) were collected, all belonging to pseudorhabdosynochus yamaguti, 1958: p. bouaini sp. n., p. dolicocolpos sp. n., p. enitsuji sp. n., p. sinediscus sp. n., and p. sosia sp. n. these five species differ from each other and from all described species of pseudorhabdosynochus by the morphology and size of their s ... | 2007 | 17886741 |
| viral encephalopathy and retinopathy in groupers (epinephelus spp.) in southern italy: a threat for wild endangered species? | betanodaviruses are the causative agents of viral encephalopathy and retinopathy (ver). to date, more than 50 species have proved to be susceptible and among them, those found in genus epinephelus are highly represented. clinical disease outbreaks are generally characterized by typical nervous signs and significant mortalities mainly associated with aquaculture activities, although some concerns for the impact of this infection in wild fish have been raised. in this study, the authors present th ... | 2013 | 23351980 |
| response of rocky reef top predators (serranidae: epinephelinae) in and around marine protected areas in the western mediterranean sea. | groupers species are extremely vulnerable to overfishing and many species are threatened worldwide. in recent decades, mediterranean groupers experienced dramatic population declines. marine protected areas (mpas) can protect populations inside their boundaries and provide individuals to adjacent fishing areas through the process of spillover and larval export. this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of six marine reserves in the western mediterranean sea to protect the populations of thre ... | 2014 | 24905331 |

| the evaluation of gnathiid (crustacea: isopoda: gnathidae) parasitism in goldblotch grouper (epinephelus costae staindahner, 1878) in the northeastern mediterranean sea using the self-organizing map (som). | the self-organizing map (som), which is widely used in economics and engineering applications, is a type of artificial neural network trained without supervision. som is used to represent multidimensional data in much lower dimensional spaces-usually in two dimensions (2d)-while preserving the topological properties of the input space. in this study, 2d maps were produced by using som to display the relationship between seasons, length, weight, and isopod infestation of goldblotch grouper (epine ... | 2011 | 21181197 |
