“…Systematic analyses of the genus Caranx Lacépède, 1801 has shown that some recognized species have wide geographic distribution and regional populations with cryptic taxonomic features indicating that they constitute species complexes (Jacobina et al, 2014). In the Gulf of Mexico, the most common species of Caranx are Caranx hippos, Caranx crysos, and Caranx latus (López-Herrera et al, 2021). However, there are some registers of Caranx ruber, Caranx bartholomaei, and Caranx lugubris (Froese & Pauly, 2022).…”

During a study of the helminth parasites of carangid fish of the Gulf of Mexico, Protomicrocotyle mirabilis and a new member of that genus were found. The aim of the present study is to provide new morphological and sequences of 28s rDNA and CO1 mtDNA for P. mirabilis and describe the new species. Between 2005–2022, 73 specimens of Caranx spp. were purchased from local fishermen of the littoral waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Protomicrocotyle veracruzensis sp. nov. is most similar to P. mirabilis than to P. ivoriensis, the only members of the genus known from the Greater Atlantic Ocean Basin. Protomicrocotyle veracruzensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from those two species by the arrangement and number of testes. Measurement data on the haptoral armature for the new species is provided and the potential value and need for comparative data from these structures of other members of the genus is discussed. The results of the molecular analysis and the morphometric analysis of 91 characters confirmed that this new species belongs to Protomicrocotyle.

“…Coastal lagoons cover approximately 13% of coastlines worldwide (Barnes 1980), showing high productivity (Knoppers 1994) and supporting a wide range of human activities (Newton et al 2014). These transitional ecosystems with high biodiversity (López-Herrera et al 2021) play a critical role to regulate water flow, nutrient fluxes, and organisms from land and inland waters to the ocean (Newton et al 2014). The main environmental ecosystem services of coastal lagoons include water uses, ecological habitat for numerous commercial species, life quality, and income derived from services, such as tourism and recreation (Anthony et al 2009, Ferreira & Freire 2009, Despite ecological services and uses, human activities in the watershed have resulted in filling up (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005), and nutrient enrichment (Rabalais et al 2009) by deforestation, fertilizers, urban sprawl, and aquaculture (Pérez-Ruzafa et al 2011, García & Muñoz-Vera 2015, especially in developing countries (Fauzi et al 2014).…”

Long-Term Changes in Sanitary Conditions and Zooplankton Community in the Imboassica Lagoon (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil): Effects of Sandbar Openings

et al. 2022

The present study investigated the intra-ecosystem variability of nutrient enrichment (nitrogen -N- and phosphorus -P-), density of faecal coliforms (i.e., as a proxy of sanitary conditions), and ecological responses of the zooplankton community structure in a tropical urban coastal lagoon, following eutrophication, changes in rainfall, and episodic sandbar openings. Surface waters were monthly taken over 14 years (1992-2005) within the long-term monitoring program ECOlagoas from two sampling stations at the Imboassica lagoon (Northern of the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil): near a domestic wastewater channel (SEWAGE station), and at the limit to the sea (SANDBAR station). Changes in faecal coliforms and nutrient concentration reduced water quality due to untreated sewage inputs, which was intensified by artificial sandbar openings mainly under low rainfall, such as observed in February 2001. Indeed, a greater depth and subsequent volume of water of the Imboassica lagoon during the acidification period (i.e., attributed to the increased rainfall, and lower frequency of sandbar openings) contributed to dilute the faecal coliform only in the SANDBAR station. In turn, the zooplankton community structure showed that episodic sandbar openings promoted the loss of their functional features derived from a reduction and replacement of species over time, even in the period of lower frequency of sandbar opening and dilution of nutrient concentrations. Our findings indicate that sandbar openings are not the best management practice when facing coastal eutrophication, once it may cause harmful effects on sanitary conditions and ecological community related to zooplankton, mainly in periods of decline in rainfall.
