A total of 299 fish belonging to ten teleost species were studied in Iranian waters at the north-eastern coast of the Persian Gulf for larval trypanorhynch cestode infection. The following trypanorhynch species were identified: Callitetrarhynchus gracilis Pintner, 1931, Pseudogilquinia thomasi (Palm, 2000), Pterobothrium lesteri Campbell and Beveridge, 1996 and Pseudolacistorhynchus shipleyi (S...

Some major latitudinal trends in the physiology, population dynamics and ecology of flatfish are illustrated, and related to their ultimate cause: temperature-mediated difference of metabolic rate. The niche of tropical flatfish is then defined with some emphasis on Psettodes erumei in the Gulf of Thailand, and a hypothesis is derived to explain the generally low observed biomass-and hence recr...

the growth parameters, mortality rates and exploitation population dynamic parameters and exploitation rate of psettodes erumei were assessed between july 2010 to june 2011 using length frequency analysis. the data were collected from landing sites of jask, bandar abass, kong and qeshm hormozgan province waters. using total weight (w) and total length (tl) data, the length- weight relationship ...

The Persian Gulf is of great economical, environmental and political importance, and includes around 205 species of fishes that only some of them have been studied parasitologically. From the order Pleuronectiformes ( ray-finned fishes), Psettodes erumei (Psettodidae), Pseudorhombus elevatus (Bothidae) and Brachirus orientalis (Soleidae) were selected for the survey. One hundred and forty eig...

Based on light and scanning electron microscopical studies, the following five species of the Philometridae (Nematoda: Dracunculoidea) are described from female specimens collected from marine fishes off the southwestern coast of Java, Indonesia: Philometra lobotidis sp. n. from the abdominal cavity of the Atlantic tripletail Lobotes surinamensis (Bloch) (Lobotidae, Perciformes); Philometra jav...
