This study of freshwater nematodes is part of a survey of the intestinal parasites of fishes of Otsego Lake and its tributaries (Cooperstown, New York) from 2008 to 2014. The survey included a total of 27 fish species, consisting of six centrarchid species, one ictalurid species, eleven cyprinid species, three percid species, three salmonid species, one catostomid species, one clupeid species, ...

Mycobacteriosis is a chronic disease of freshwater and marine fish. In the present study, Mycobacterium fortuitum from a diseased gold fish, Carassius auratus was isolated and identified by biochemical and molecular (PCR) method. The isolate was found to be resistant to rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol and myoconda® a nanodrug combination of rifampicin, clarithromycin and clof...

NIKOLOV, B. and D. BOYADZIEVA – DOICHINOVA, 2010. Parameters of the red blood cell count in three species of carp fishes. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 307-310 The study was conducted under laboratory conditions during the years 2007-2008. We examined 11 parameters of the red blood cell count in three carp species: Carassius gibelio (L.), Alburnus alburnus (L.) and Scardinius erythrophthalmus (L.)....

During the study of the metazoan parasites of fishes from Araguaia River, municipality of Araguatins (05 degrees 39'S, 48 degrees 07'W), State of Tocantins, Brazil, a third stage larvae of an undescribed species of Terranova were collected from the mesenteries of Plagioscion squamosissimus. These larvae were characterized to present large size, excretory pore situated near of the base of ventro...

During an investigation of gill monogenoidean parasites from freshwater fishes in central Panama, 5 new species of Urocleidoides (sensu stricto) were found: Urocleidoides cultellus n. sp., Urocleidoides visiofortatus n. sp., and Urocleidoides advenai n. sp. from the gymnotiform Brachyhypopomus occidentalis (Hypopomidae); Urocleidoides neotropicalis n. sp. and Urocleidoides piriatiu n. sp. from ...

During a survey of the parasites of freshwater fishes from cenotes (sinkholes) of the Yucatan Peninsula the following species of monogeneans were found on cichlid, pimelodid, characid and poeciliid fishes: Sciadicleithrum mexicanum Kritsky, Vidal-Martinez et Rodriguez-Canul, 1994 from Cichlasoma urophthalmus (Günther) (type host), Cichlasoma friedrichsthali (Heckel), Cichlasoma octofasciatum (R...

Aim Increasing threats to freshwater biodiversity are rapidly changing the distinctiveness of regional species pools and local assemblages. Biotic homogenization/differentiation processes are threatening the integrity and persistence of native biodiversity patterns at a range of spatial scales and pose a challenge for effective conservation planning. Here, we evaluate the extent and determinant...

SYNOPSIS. Studies on color patterns of fishes have focused on relationships between bright, relatively permanent colors, such as those of fishes inhabiting coral reef and tropical freshwater habitats, and ecological factors, such as competitors, predators, and the visual background. By comparison, the functions of, and hence the selective pressures acting on, temporary changes in nuptial colora...
