Co-infestation of gills by different parasite groups in the mullet, Mugil platanus Günther, 1880 (Osteichthyes, Mugilidae): effects on relative condition factor

Abstract: This study involved 334 specimens of mullet, Mugil platanus, captured monthly in the estuarine region of Cananéia, São Paulo State, Brazil, from July 1988 to June 1989, and examined for the presence of gill parasites. Parasitological inspections revealed the occurrence of the following groups: Trichodina sp., Monogenoidea, Copepoda, and Hirudinea. Only four mullets were not parasitized. Total weight and total length of all 334 mullet specimens examined were used for adjusting the weight-length relationship cur… Show more

“…Decreased hematocrit in fish parasitized with Monogenoidea was also reported by Montero et al (2004). The lack of alteration in the haematological characteristics was also observed by Tavares-Dias et al (1999a) for Piaractus mesopotamicus parasitized with Argulus sp., by Tavares-Dias et al (1999b) for P. mesopotamicus and L. macrocephalus with ectoparasites, by Ranzani-Paiva et al (2000) for Schizodon borelli and Prochilodus lineatus with Monogenoidea, nematodes and acanthocephalans, and by Ranzani-Paiva & Tavares-Dias (2002) for Mugil platanus with trichodinids, Monogenoidea, copepods and Hirudinea.…”

“…However, reference intervals for normal fish must be available, mainly due to the extent of physiological variation and the characteristics of each species and environment (RANZANI-PAIVA and SILVA-SOUZA, 2004;WEISS and WARDROP, 2010;BARBIERI and FERREIRA, 2011). In this study, haematological parameters were considered normal for the species, as described by FELDMAN et al (2000), and by BARROS et al (2009), in the same conditions and for the same species.…”

“…In Brazil, fish trichodinids were reported in cultivated Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Vargas et al, 2000, Tavares-Dias et al, 2001, Ranzani-Paiva et al, 2005, Ghiraldelli et al, 2006a, b, Martins and Ghiraldelli, 2008; in pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus (Holmberg, 1887), piauçu Leporinus macrocephalus Garavello andBritski, 1988, carp Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758); and in mullet, Mugil platanus Günther, 1880 (Ranzani-Paiva andSilva-Souza, 2004).…”
