| population structure and comparative phylogeography of jack species (caranx ignobilis and c. melampygus) in the high hawaiian islands. | members of the family carangidae are top-level predators and highly prized food and sport fishes. although ecologically and economically important, little is known about the biology of numerous species in the family. this is particularly true of the jacks caranx ignobilis and c. melampygus, which have experienced recent population reductions around the high hawaiian islands due to overfishing. previous studies have documented territorial tendencies as well as cases of long-distance excursions in ... | 2010 | 20881031 |
| three species of caligus müller, 1785 (copepoda: caligidae) parasitic on caranx spp. (teleostei: carangidae) off taiwan. | three species of sea-lice (siphonostomatoida: caligidae) parasitic on marine fishes of the genus caranx off taiwan are reported. they are: caligus fortis kabata, 1965 on caranx ignobilis (forsskål); caligus robustus bassett-smith, 1898 on caranx sexfasciatus quoy & gaimard; and caligus inanis n. sp. on caranx ignobilis. caligus robustus is a widely distributed species, but this is the first report of c. fortis outside the australian and indian regions. the new species is distinguished from its c ... | 2007 | 17429578 |
