| phylogenetic relationships of some common indo-pacific snappers (perciformes: lutjanidae) based on mitochondrial dna sequences, with comments on the taxonomic position of the caesioninae. | the phylogenetic relationships of 27 species of common indo-pacific snappers (lutjanidae) were explored using the 16s ribosomal rna and cytochrome b mitochondrial genes with minimum evolution, maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and bayesian inference analyses. included were species representing four subfamilies, the caesioninae, etelinae, paradicichthyinae, and lutjaninae. members of the closely related families haemulidae, lethrinidae, nemipteridae and sparidae, were included for outgroup co ... | 2007 | 17188002 |
| new record of two genera of trypanorhynch cestodes infecting red sea fishes in egypt. | callitetrarhynchus and floriceps (lacistorhynchidae: trypanorhyncha) belong to the less host specific genera with a wide host range. the present study reported plerocerci of callitetrarhynchus speciosus linton, 1897 from conger cinereus, longfine african conger (family: congridae) and c. gracilis pintner, 1931 (family: lacistorhynchidae) from five new teleost hosts of 2 different families: lethrinus mehsena, sky emperor and l. variegatus, variegated emperor (lethrinidae); cephalopholis miniata, ... | 2008 | 19143138 |
| ciguatera incidence and fish toxicity in okinawa, japan. | okinawa being located in the subtropical region has the highest incidence of ciguatera in japan. officially, 33 outbreaks involving 103 patients have been reported between 1997 and 2006. the implicated species were variola louti, lutjanus bohar, lutjanus monostigma, epinephelus fuscoguttatus, unidentified lutjanus sp., plectropomus areolatus, oplegnathus punctatus, epinephelus polyphekadion, caranx ignobilis and moray eel. toxicities of the leftover meals, as determined by mouse bioassays, range ... | 2010 | 19520098 |
| abundance, diversity, and activity of microbial assemblages associated with coral reef fish guts and feces. | feces and distal gut contents were collected from three coral reef fish species. bacteria cell abundances, as determined via epifluorescence microscopy, ranged two orders of magnitude among the fishes. mass-specific and apparent cell-specific hydrolytic enzyme activities in feces from chlorurus sordidus were very high, suggesting that endogenous fish enzymes were egested into feces. denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profiles of 16s rrna genes were more similar among multiple individuals of ... | 2010 | 20455942 |
| detailed lc-ms/ms analysis of ciguatoxins revealing distinct regional and species characteristics in fish and causative alga from the pacific. | toxin profiles of representative ciguatera species caught at different locations of japan were investigated in fish flesh by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (lc-ms/ms) analysis. identification and quantification of 16 toxins were facilitated by the use of 14 reference toxins prepared by either synthesis or isolation from natural sources and the previous lc-ms data thereof. sodium adduct ions [m + na](+) were used as parent and product ions. distinct regional diffe ... | 2011 | 22010820 |
| feeding ecology of some fish species occurring in artisanal fishery of socotra island (yemen). | the demersal species lethrinus borbonicus, lethrinus mahsena, lethrinus microdon, lethrinus nebulosus, lutjanus bohar, lutjanus gibbus, lutjanus kasmira, epinephelus fasciatus, epinephelus stoliczkae, carangoides gymnostethus and euthynnus affinis are important coastal fishes species of the northern coast of socotra (yemen), exploited by local fishery. the biology and feeding ecology of these species are poorly known in the area. a total of 1239 specimens were sampled from the main fishing landi ... | 2016 | 26880127 |
| ceratomyxa bohari sp. n. (myxozoa: ceratomyxidae) from the gall bladder of lutjanus bohar forsskål from the red sea coast off saudi arabia: morphology, seasonality and ssu rdna sequence. | | 2016 | 26856876 |
| glugea jazanensis sp. nov. infecting lutjanus bohar in the red sea: ultrastructure and phylogeny. | during a survey of the microsporean fauna of the two-spot red snapper lutjanus bohar forsskål, 1775, from the red sea off jizan (saudi arabia), a species of glugea thélohan, 1891 was found that did not conform to any known species. the species is characterized by the presence of spherical xenomas (ca. 2-5 mm in diameter) in the host body cavity. examination of the lifecycle stages and mature spores using light and transmission electron microscopy also revealed morphological characteristics typic ... | 2015 | 26503772 |
