Abstract: The capsalid monogenean Neobenedenia melleni is known as a lethal pathogen for captured marine teleost ornamental fish, if left untreated. This study reports the occurrence of N. melleni parasitizing four species of ornamental reef fish imported into Brazil and maintained in quarantine: Arabian angelfish (Pomacanthus asfur ), yellowbar angelfish (Pomacanthus maculosus), regal angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus), and bluecheek butterflyfish (Chaetodon semilarvatus). Ten days after the beginning of quarantine, som… Show more

“…However, the import and international transportation of these fish is costly, which increases the costs of each batch of fish. In order to minimize the economic losses and mortality due to parasitic diseases, and to promote fish welfare, it is necessary to take care of the fish until they are sold (CARDOSO et al, 2017(CARDOSO et al, , 2019. In this report, white spot disease was detected early in yellowtail tangs, and the efficacy of the Seachem Cupramine  treatment was demonstrated, which avoided losses of fish due to mortality.…”

“…Indeed, N. girellae has likely dispersed through the live ornamental aquarium trade. 62,63 The delineation of two species, N. girellae and N. melleni, has been a source of controversy and confusion for decades, but recent molecular profiling demonstrated that a large proportion of previous identifications made as N. melleni are erroneous. 22 Given difficulties to morphologically distinguish species and that morphological variation may be exhibited within Neobenedenia species, 64 authors occasionally attribute species as 'Neobenedenia sp.'…”

“…Ogawa et al 61 indicated that unregulated importation of S. dumerili fry to Japan may have been the source of N. girellae infection in Japanese fishes. Indeed, N. girellae has likely dispersed through the live ornamental aquarium trade 62,63 . The delineation of two species, N. girellae and N .…”
