Ophiotaenia sp. n. (Proteocephalidae: Proteocephalinae) is collected from the intestine of Scincus scincus Linnaeus, 1758 (Family: Scincidae) lizards from Sinai, Egypt. This species is rare with both prevalence and intensity low. The medullary position of the vitellaria and reproductive organs, the uniloculate suckers and the two separate fields of testes placed it in the genus Ophiotaenia La R...

In this article we describe the rapid uptake of technology that increases fishing efficiency in two parts of western Melanesia: Ghizo Island in Western Province, Solomon Islands, and Milne Bay Province in Papua New Guinea. We present evidence that demonstrates a disturbing lack of awareness among fishers of the finite nature of the stocks they are exploiting, and we argue that without correspon...

A requisite for reliable food web models and ecosystem-based management in regions such as the California Current is the availability of diet information on key predators. In upwelling ecosystems, much of the lower trophic level energy may be transferred through a relatively small set of very abundant pelagic forage fish taxa, such as anchovies, sardines, smelts, and herring. In addition the pe...
