“…A characteristic feature of the parasite community in B. boops off Santa Pola was the high representation of parasites with complex life-cycles that are transmitted to fish via food ingestion (16 species comprising >80 % of all parasite individuals) and the dominance of trematodes (mostly hemiuroids, comprising more than half of the individuals transmitted via the food chain in the total sample). The present data only partially support the suggestion for a strong phylogenetic element of the trematode fauna of sparids (Bartoli et al 2005), since generalist parasites transmitted to B. boops from other sympatric species comprised a large percentage of the community (62 % of all species and >50 % of all individuals). Of the 3 bogue specialists, only B. israelensis exhibited substantial abundance.…”

We examined the patterns of composition and structure of parasite communities in the Mediterranean sparid fish Boops boops along a gradient of fish sizes, using a large sample from a single population. We tested the hypothesis that species forming the core of the bogue parasite fauna (i.e. species which have a wide geographical range and are responsible for recognizable community structure) appear early in the fish ontogeny. The sequential community development observed supported the prediction that core species appear in the fish population earlier than rare and stochastic species. There was also a strong correlation between the order of 'arrival ' of the species and their overall prevalence. Six key species were responsible for recognizable community structure across size/age cohorts ; the addition to this baseline community of key parasite species resulted in a nested structure that is linked to differential species abundance rather than fish size. Information on the life-cycles, distribution and host range of the parasites is used to explain the observed patterns of parasite community structure. We conclude that the small mouth size of B. boops coupled with suction feeding may provide a setting for passive sampling as a mechanism leading to non-random parasite community structure.

“…It was first described and named by Saad-Fares and Maillard (1986) from D. sargus and the common two-banded seabream D. vulgaris (Geoffroy SaintHilaire, 1817) off Lebanon. It was redescribed and a generic definition supplied by Bartoli et al (1989) Sasal et al (1999), Jousson et al (1999) and Bartoli et al (2005) [who also reported the species in the sharpsnout seabream Diplodus puntazzo (Cetti, 1777)] in the western Mediterranean indicate that, most probably, this species is restricted to perciforms of the family Sparidae and the genus Diplodus in the Mediterranean Sea.…”

Pseudopycnadena tendu sp. nov. is described from the balistid Pseudobalistes fuscus from the waters off New Caledonia. It differs from the only other member of the genus P. fischthali Saad-Fares et Maillard, 1986, in its broad cirrus-sac, with the wide field of large gland-cells, its less nearly circular body shape, its dorsal excretory pore, its shorter post-testicular region, its relatively larger ventral sucker and its smaller eggs. The genus is re-defined to take these distinctions into account. Other opecoelid species reported from New Caledonia are Allopodocotyle epinepheli (Yamaguti, 1942)
