First report of Ascarophis Van Beneden, 1871: A. Brasiliensis n.sp. (Nematoda, Ascarophidinae) and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) Pereira/Annereaux, 1946 (Nematoda, Procamallaninae) in South America

Abstract

Ascarophis brasiliensis recovered from the stomach of Trachinotus carolinus (L. 1766), is proposed as a new species and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) pereirai Annereaux, 1946 is redescribed from a new host: Paralonchurus brasiliensis (Steind., 1875). A. brasiliensis is more closely related to A. crassicolis Dollfus & Campana-Rouget, 1956, from which it differs mainly by the absence of cervical cuticular expansion and size of the eggs. The new species is also compared to A. cooperi johnston & Mawson, 1945 and A. girellae (Yamaguti, 1935) Campana-rouget, 1955. The validity of the proposed species is discussed.<br>Ascarophis brasiliensis coletada do estômago de Trachinotus carolinus (L., 1766), é proposta como espécie nova e Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) pereirai Annereaux., 1946 é redescrita de um novo hospedeiro: Paralonchurus brasiliensis (Steind., 1875). A. brasiliensis mais se aproxima de A. crassicolis Dollfus & Campana-rouget, 1956, da qual se difere, principalmente, pela ausência da expansão cuticular cervical e tamanho dos ovos.

The status of Florida pompano, Trachinotus carolinus, as a commercially ready species for U.S. marine aquaculture

“…In the wild, Florida pompano can host numerous pathogens. Some are acquired through their diet of crustaceans, bivalve mollusks, and other marine invertebrates (Froese & Pauly, 2021;Iverson & Berry, 1969) & Brown, 1970;Pinto, Vicente, & Noronha, 1984;Ribeiro, de São Clemente, Lopes, & Knoff, 2014;S anchez-Ramírez & Vidal-Martinez, 2002), while others such as small crustacean parasites (Bunkley- Williams, Williams, & Bashirullah, 2006;Parker & Booth, 2013) and monogenean trematodes (Kohn, Santos, & Baptista, 1992;Kohn, Santos, & Lebedev, 1996;S anchez-Ramírez & Vidal-Martínez, 2002) can be transmitted directly from fish to fish, especially during spawning.…”

Nematodes of elasmobranch fishes from the southern coast of Brazil

“…Procamallanus (S.) pereirai has been reported from a variety of hosts and different geographical localities , Sogandares-Bernal 1955, Noble & King 1960, Hutton 1964, Joy 1971, Yin 1983, Sood 1989, Frost & Dailey 1994. In Brazil this nematode was referred parasitizing Paralonchurus brasiliensis (Pinto et al 1984, Vicente et al 1985. Larval stages of P. (S.) pereirai have been reported in Brazil for the teleosts Stellifer brasiliensis, Nebris microps, Porichthys porosissimus, Symphurus tesselatus and Menticirrus americanus (Santos et al1999).…”
