Abstract Plastic pollution has been a widespread global challenge with negative impacts on human health, environment and economies. Recently its effect the marine life of immense interest. This study aimed to investigate presence microplastics in gut, gill flesh Selar Crumenophthalmus Decapterus Macarellus from two different locations South Maldives. A total 56 fishes were examined species 200 ...

We describe a new myxozoan, Henneguya akule n. sp., infecting the carangid fish Selar crumenophthalmus in Hawaii. Spores were found only in the aortic bulb, characterized by elliptical capsule with 2 tails, and pyriform polar capsules that angled toward the anterior end of the spore. Polar filaments had 3-4 coils. Parasites were present in apparently healthy fishes and caused no evident gross p...

Abstract Although vital in fisheries management, no comprehensive studies on ichthyoplankton have been conducted Sri Lankan waters the north central Indian Ocean hitherto. Hence, this study is first detailed account of diversity and species composition larval fish based samples collected during southwest monsoon 2018. In total, 80 belonging to 69 families were identified using morphological mol...

Acanthocephalans are attractive candidates as model organisms for studying the ecology and co-evolutionary history of parasitic life cycles in the marine ecosystem. Adding to earlier molecular analyses of this taxon, a total of 36 acanthocephalans belonging to the classes Archiacanthocephala (3 species), Eoacanthocephala (3 species), Palaeacanthocephala (29 species), Polyacanthocephala (1 speci...

Large-scale wireless sensor networks consist of thousands of tiny and low cost nodes with very limited energy, computing power and communication capabilities. They have a myriad of possible applications. They can be used in hazardous and hostile environments to sense for deadly gases and high temperatures, in personal area networks to monitor vital signs, in military and civilian environments f...
