| helminth ectoparasites of sillaginid fishes (perciformes: percoidei) have low species richness. | just nineteen species of ectoparasitic helminths were found in a survey of over 1,500 individuals of 26 species of sillaginid fishes in the indo-west pacific. a twentieth worm is known only from the literature; a twenty-first, also known only from the literature, is considered a doubtful record. fifteen of the twenty worms are branchial monogeneans, one is a monogenean of the pharyngeal plates, one is an ectoparasitic digenean living under the scales, and three are leeches of the mouth cavity an ... | 1997 | 9332977 |
| observations on the seasonal occurrence of two species of transversotrematid digenea parasitising the sparid fish acanthopagrus australis in moreton bay, eastern australia. | ectoparasitic prototransversotrema steeri angel infected acanthopagrus australis (günther) in western (w. bay) and southern (s. bay) moreton bay with greatest abundance in winter (june-august), and none in summer (december-february). this confirms previous observations on seasonality of p. steeri from a small estuary in new south wales. transversotrema licinum manter, which is a new host and geographical record, infects a. australis in w. bay but not s. bay, with large abundances in summer and w ... | 1998 | 9805784 |
| transversotrema witenberg, 1944 (trematoda: transversotrematidae) from inshore fishes of australia: description of a new species and significant range extensions for three congeners. | four transversotrematid trematodes are reported from commercial teleost species in australian waters. transversotrema hunterae n. sp. is described from three species of sillago cuvier (sillaginidae) from moreton bay, south-east queensland. molecular characterisation using its2 rdna confirmed this stenoxenic specificity of transversotrema hunterae n. sp., with identical sequence data from sillago maculata quoy & gaimard, s. analis whitley and s. ciliata cuvier. phylogenetic analysis, based on 28s ... | 2016 | 27522364 |
