Copepod Crustaceans Parasitic on Teleost Fishes of the Hawaiian lslands

Abstract

ntroduction This is the third and last of a series of papers covering the copepod parasites of Hawaiian fishes. The first (Lewis, 1964a) deals vnth the caligoid copepod parasites of Hawaiian acanthurid fishes, the second (Lewis, 1966) covers the copepod crustaceans parasitic on elasmobranch fishes, and the present paper deals with copepod crustaceans parasitic on teleost fishes. An additional paper (Lewis, 1964b)

A revision ofHatschekiaPoche, 1902 (Copepoda: Hatschekiidae), parasitic on marine fishes

“…Parabasal papillae distinct (Fig. SC), referred to by Lewis (1967) as "flap-like projection". Mandible with 3 small teeth.…”

“…ID, 6A (Hesse, 1879) Note: H. sargi (Brian, 1902) (Scott, 1902) Lewis, 1967 SPECIES INQUIRENDA H. acantholabriexoleti (Hesse, 1879); H. budegassae (Kmyer, 1864); H. cantharigisi (Hesse, 1879); H. crenilabri (Hesse, 1879); H. damianii Brian, New Zealand Journal of Zoology, 1985, Vol. 12 1906; H. labridonovaini (Hesse, 1879); H. labritrimaculati (Hesse, 1879); H. thomsoni (Heegaard, 1964); H. sp.…”

“…The only differences between the 3 are: the shape of the cephalothorax Abdomen small, hemispherical, bearing small uropods (length 2.7x width) bearing 3, possibly 4, setae. First antenna 6-segmented, setae formula given by Lewis (1967) as: 6, 3, 3, 1,0, 1, 7. Second antenna (Fig.…”

Caligus longipedis Infection of Cultured Striped Jack, Pseudocaranx dentex (Teleostei: Carangidae) in Japan.

“…Outside Japan, C. longipedis has so far been known to be parasitic on fishes of the genera Caranx, Cantherhines, Trichiurus and Seriola (?) from different localities like Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Mexico, the Indian and Pacific Ocean and the Tasmanian Sea (Bassett -Smith, 1898;Gnanamuthu, 1950;Pearse, 1953;Shiino, 1959;Heegaard, 1962;Lewis, 1967), while in Japan, it has been found only on striped jack. The development of this species has beer divided into 2 nauplius, 1 copepodid, 4 chalimus 1 preadult and 1 adult stages.…”

“…Discussion Kubota and Takakuwa (1963) reported Caligus amplifurcus from cultured Caranx delicatissimus (=Pseudocaranx dentex) in Mie Prefecture, Japan ; this species was synonymized with C. longipedis by Lewis (1967). Outside Japan, C. longipedis has so far been known to be parasitic on fishes of the genera Caranx, Cantherhines, Trichiurus and Seriola (?)…”
