“…Slightly higher prevalence in the spotted goatfish herein studied was observed in comparison to M. argentinae , lane snapper Lutjanus synagris (Cavalcanti et al, 2013), mutton snapper Lutjanus analis (Hermida et al, 2014), blue runner Caranx crysos, castin leatherjacket Oligoplites saliens and largehead hairtail Trichiurus lepturus (Carvalho-Souza et al, 2009), and the former have reported by the first time its occurrence in the Baía de Cotegipe, Bahia, Northeast Brazil. Contrarily to that observed in this study, high prevalence rates were found in Spanish mackerel Scomberomorus brasiliensis and in parrotfish Sparisoma frondosum from the Rio Grande do Norte (Lima et al, 2005;Cavalcanti et al, 2012). Bunkley-Williams et al (2006) reported low prevalences of R. signata in tomtate grunt Haemulon aurolineatum (0.45%), Corocoro grunt Orthopristis ruber (0.49%) and in glasseye Heteropriacanthus cruentatus (0.22%).…”

“…In relation to mean intensity and abundance, similar values were found in M. argentinae , in L. synagris (Cavalcanti et al, 2013), in L. analis (Hermida et al, 2014), in C. crysos, O. saliens andT. lepturus (Carvalho-Souza et al, 2009) and in S. frondosum (Cavalcanti et al, 2012). Apart from the great variety of hosts for Aegidae its preference by some fish species must not be excluded once the prevalence values differ among different hosts.…”

Gill metazoan parasites of the spotted goatfish Pseudupeneus maculatus (Ostheichthyes: Mullidae) from the Coast of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil

This study evaluated the parasite fauna on the gills of spotted goatfish Pseudupeneus maculatus captured in the dry and rainy seasons in the coast of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Eight parasite species were identified belonging to the following taxa: Monogenea (Haliotrema caraïbensis, Haliotrema caballeroi and Haliotrema golvani); Crustacea (Rocinela signata, Hamaticolax scutigerulus and Caligidae gen. sp.) and Cestoda (Nybelinia indica and Pseudolacistorhynchus noodti). The most prevalent parasites were: Monogenea (100%), H. scutigerulus (35%), N. indica (11.7%), R. signata (8.3%), Caligidae gen. sp. (3.33%) and P. noodti (0.83%). Values of infestation are compared to other studies, and the uncommon occurrence of Trypanorhyncha on the gills suggests that the spotted goatfish could be an intermediate host for the parasite.Keywords: marine fish, infestation, parasitology.

“…Rocinela have the most flat body of the Aegidae, and adapting to living in the gill cavity is certainly plausible, as is becoming more permanently attached to the hosts. At least one species, Rocinela signata , is known to occur in the gill chamber of its host fish ( Bunkley-Williams et al, 2006; Cavalcanti et al, 2012 ). Further more, one still has to consider that there may have been two evolutionary events leading to fish parasitism in the Cymothoidae, which within the Isopoda has occurred in several different families (e.g.…”

“…When comparing these data with those recorded for the fishes from other parasite hotspots of Neotropics (Mexico and Caribbean), it is possible to affirm that the fauna of parasitic crustaceans of Brazilian fishes is the richest in the region.

Materials and MethodsThe list of parasitic crustaceans of fishes in Brazil was based on extensive search of published records. This bibliographic review of the crustacean species reported from fishes in Brazilian waters was complemented with information from the Zoological Record, Biological Abstracts, Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts, Biological and Agricultural Index Plus and the Scopus. Data were compiled until March, 2013. In the case of parasitic copepods, only information not presented in the checklist of Copepoda parasites of fishes from Brazil by Luque and Tavares (2007) was included. The number of parasitic associations was calculated from the sum of the richness of species of parasites on each host species.The checklist follows the classification and systematic arrangement proposed by Boxshall and Halsey (2004) for Copepoda, and Young (1998) and Martin and Davis (2001) for other crustacean groups.The species of crustaceans are arranged according to taxonomic categories, within which the species are presented in alphabetical order, followed by hosts (specific name), site of infection, habitat, localities and references (between parentheses, in chronological order). In addition, the checklist also includes crustacean species identified only at the genus level and undetermined species. Crustacean names presented in the checklist follow the most recent taxonomic literature, but validity of individual taxa or reliability of their records was not critically examined by the present authors. Host species were arranged in taxonomic and then alphabetical order.The key to identification of the genera of parasitic crustaceans from fishes in Brazil has been produced on the basis of those by Delaney
