| anisakid parasites of fishes caught on the african shelf. | anisakids of scomber japonicus, trachyrincus scabrus, sardina pilchardus, merluccius polli, trachurus trachurus, and hoplostethus cadenati from african shelf are reported. parasites were extensively studied with respect to their morphology and sequence analysis of the rdna fragment (containing internal transcribed spacer [its]-1, 5.8s subunit and its-2); all of them are approximately 1,000 base pairs. digestion of the amplified region and its sequencing revealed the presence of a sibling species ... | 2009 | 19093709 |
| polychlorinated biphenyl and organochlorine pesticide contamination signatures in deep-sea fish from the mediterranean sea. | polychlorinated biphenyl (pcb) and ocp concentrations were determined in the livers of two deep-sea fish species, roughsnout grenadier and hollowsnout grenadier, from the adriatic sea. in both species, contaminant concentrations were in the following order: pcbs>ddts>>hcb. contaminant load was higher in roughsnout grenadier (pcb: 12,327ngg(-1); ddts: 5357ngg(-1); hcb: 13.1ngg(-1)) than in hollowsnout grenadier (pcb: 1234ngg(-1); ddts: 763ngg(-1); hcb 6.3ngg(-1)). pcb patterns were dominated by h ... | 2009 | 19682678 |
| raphidascaris (raphidascaris) macrouri n. sp. (nematoda: anisakidae) from two deep-sea macrourid fishes in the western mediterranean: morphological and molecular characterisations. | a new nematode species, raphidascaris (raphidascaris) macrouri n. sp. (anisakidae), is described from male and female specimens found in the intestine, and occasionally in stomach and pyloric caeca, of two deep-water macrourid fishes (gadiformes) off barcelona, mediterranean sea: nezumia aequalis (günther) (type-host) and trachyrincus scabrus (rafinesque). based on light and scanning electron microscopy examination, the new species shows similar morphological features as the other four valid spe ... | 2015 | 25979612 |
| a new species of bathycreadium kabata, 1961 (digenea: opecoelidae) from phycis blennoides (brünnich) (gadiformes: phycidae) in the western mediterranean. | bathycreadium brayi n. sp. is described based on specimens collected from the deep-sea greater forkbeard phycis blennoides (brünnich) (gadiformes: phycidae) in the western mediterranean. the new species is distinguished from b. flexicolle kabata, 1961, b. elongata (maillard, 1970) and b. nanaflexicolle dronen, rubec & underwood, 1977 by the much smaller size of the body and most organs, the large (in relation to body length and width) ventral sucker and the distinctly more anterior extent of the ... | 2014 | 24935126 |
