Comparison of Solea solea macroparasites between two nursery-continental shelf systems in the Bay of Biscay and the Portuguese coast
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digenean metacercariae of 0 year group common sole Solea solea (n = 70) were more abundant in the embayed nursery of the Pertuis Charentais than in the Tagus estuary nursery. Macroparasite assemblages of adult sole (n = 119) displayed only one species in common between the Bay of Biscay and the Portuguese coast continental shelves. These data highlighted the potential use of macroparasites as biological tags in various aspects of common sole ecology.

Phenotypic and genetic differentiation in young-of-the-year common sole (Solea solea) at differentially contaminated nursery grounds.
Growth-related characters, condition factor, and genetic differentiation were investigated for a single cohort of young-of-the-year (YOY) sole within and among nurseries with differing levels of heavy metals (Cd, Cu and Zn) contamination in the two Charentais Straits, Bay of Biscay, France. Analyses were performed when individuals recruited (May), then after a full summer spent in each nursery ...
متن کاملPopulation structure of the Dover sole, Solea solea L., in a background of high gene flow
To investigate the genetic population structure of the Dover sole, Solea solea L., allozyme electrophoresis was performed on 303 fish collected from seven locations ranging from Cumbria, Great Britain, to Greece. A total of 22 enzyme systems were analysed, coded by 33 loci. Of these, 27 loci were polymorphic using the P99 criterion. A phenogram using Prevosti’s Distance generated by the Wagner ...
متن کاملDelphinid spatial distribution and abundance estimates over the shelf of the Bay of Biscay
The small delphinid community (bottlenose Tursiops truncatus, common Delphinus delphis, and striped Stenella coeruleoalba dolphins) of the Bay of Biscay (100 000 km of continental shelf along the French Atlantic coast) has been studied here by combining striptransect aerial surveys conducted between 2001 and 2004 and ship-based surveys conducted between 2003 and 2006. Distribution was modelled ...
متن کاملSolearhynchus kostylewi (Meyer, 1932) comb. nov. (acanthocephala: Echinorhynchidae), a rare parasite of Solea solea (pisces: soleidae) in the Gemlik Bay, Sea of Marmara.
Paracanthocephaloides kostylewi (Meyer, 1932), a rare parasite of the common sole Solea solea, previously placed in the Arhythmacanthidae, is transfered to the genus Solearhynchus de Buron & Maillard, 1985 of the family Echinorhynchidae as Solearhynchus kostylewi (Meyer, 1932) new comb., because its proboscis is armed by a single type of hooks, the posterior hook in each row is pinlike and with...
متن کاملGrowth and condition indices in juvenile sole Solea solea measured to assess the quality of essential fish habitat
We used growth rates (estimated from otolith microstructure), morphometric (Fulton’s K condition index) and lipid (triacylglycerols:sterols ratio, TAG:ST) condition indices measured on 0-group juveniles of common sole, to compare the habitat quality of 7 nursery grounds with differing levels of anthropogenic pressure. Along the French coast of the Southern Bight of the North Sea and the Eastern...
