ABSTRACT The Panama Bight ecoregion (PBE) in the eastern Pacific contains probably best developed mangrove forests American continent. Fishes inhabiting mangrove-estuary mosaic play fundamental ecological roles and sustain artisanal fishery operating there. Here, using data collected along ~300 km between 2012 2017, we examine spatial dynamics of fish assemblages that undertake intertidal migra...

A myxosporean producing actinospores of the tetractinomyxon type in Hydroides norvegicus Gunnerus (Serpulidae) in Denmark was identified as a member of the family Parvicapsulidae based on small-subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) sequences. Myxosporean samples from various Danish and Norwegian marine fishes were examined with primers that detect the novel myxosporean. Sprattus sprattus (Linnaeus) ...

The aim of this work was to present a preliminary knowledge of the parasitic copepods of marine fish of Turkey. In this study, four parasitic crustaceans were reported from five different fish species found in Turkish seas: Lepeophtheirus europaensis (Zeddam, Berrebi, Renaud, Raibaut & Gabrion, 1988) was found on the gills of the European flounder, Platichtys flesus (Linnaeus, 1758 (Pleuronecti...
