PCR analysis generated on the genetic data showed that the geographic hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) population from Korea in the Yellow Sea was more or less separated from geographic hairtail population from China in the South Sea. The average bandsharing value (mean±SD) within hairtail population from Korea showed 0.859±0.031, whereas 0.752±0.039 within population from China. Also, bandsharin...

This work aimed to study the temporal variation of metazoan parasites of Trichiurus lepturus from the coastal zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Between July 2006 and June 2007, there were four seasonal quarterly samples of 30 specimens of T. lepturus. In addition to a group composed of anisakid larvae, we collected a total of 14 species of metazoan parasites: five digenean; five monogenean, two c...

This study investigated the response of the ichthyoplankton community to environmental changes in the Yangtze Estuary using canonical correspondence analysis. Ichthyoplankton community and environmental data were recorded during the autumns of 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2009. Among the ichthyoplankton, the dominant larval and juvenile families were the Engraulidae, Gobiidae and Sala...

the lernaeopodidae is a cosmopolitan family of copepods parasitic on both elasmobranchs and teleosts in marine and freshwater habitats. trichiurus lepturus l. is a commercially valuable bentho-pelagic fish inhabiting continental shelves and slopes worldwide. in the present study 74 specimens of t. lepturus were caught in the persian gulf, 12 of which were infected with female brachiella trichiu...

Trichiurus lepturus (ribbon fish) was collected from different spatial locations (south west (SW) coast edging the Arabian Sea and south east (SE) coast surrounding the Bay of Bengal of India) and seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon) during a continuous period of four years (2008 through 2011), and their edible muscles were studied for differential nutritional compositions of protein...

Keystone species are critical to preserving community stability and diversity. Identifying key investigating their ecological regulation will help prioritize important gain a better understanding of mechanisms. It is based on this that the present study tried elucidate major keystone in an ecosystem eastern Chinese waters. Therefore, data were collected from fisheries surveys conducted between ...
