Download or read book Parasites of Marine Fish and Cephalopods written by Sven Klimpel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a comprehensive, reliable and practical guide to the dissection and parasitological examination of marine fish and cephalopods. The first part provides a general introduction, presenting basic information on: parasitology, ecology of the marine environment, history and methods of fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the ecology of marine fish and cephalopods and the impact of parasites on hosts. In turn, the second part provides general information on the morphology and anatomy of marine fish and cephalopods using the example of abundant morphotypes (including e.g. habitus photos of the body cavity and internal organs). The third part covers the relevant parasitic groups, their ecology (e.g. lifecycles, transmission), related diseases, and detection. The fourth part, a comprehensive methods section, provides essential protocols and applications of common dissection methods (for roundfish, flatfish and cephalopods) and stomach content analyses, as well as parasite preservation, preparation and molecular identification. Basic calculations of the most common infection and ecological parameters are also introduced. The book’s fifth and final part provides information on health risks associated with fish and cephalopod consumption, as well as the prevention of human infection through the correct handling and processing of fish samples. The appendix provides e.g. blank sheets for recording fish dissections and parasitological examinations.

Book excerpt: Focusing on pathobiology and protective strategies against protozoan and metazoan parasites of fish, this book reviews the latest research on important parasites: those that cause financial hardships to the aquaculture industry, have been introduced to new geographical regions through transportation of infected fish, are pathogenic to groups of finfish and detrimental to production, are highly adaptable and not host-specific with worldwide distributions, and that may serve as disease models for studies on other pathogens. It also highlights gaps in the knowledge to help direct future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parasites threaten the health of animals and humans alike. Especially in times of increasing globalization and global warming, parasites can enlarge their “kingdom” by spreading. At the same time many of the existing medical products have become ineffective. As these products have been used for many decades, parasites have developed resistances, so that they have progressed in their fight for survival. Therefore it is obvious that humans must develop new methods to face these dangers. Thus parasitological knowledge increases daily and must be formulated to be accessible for as many parasitologists (veterinarians, physicians, biologists) as possible. Therefore it is necessary that reviews reflecting the present status of the progress in many fields of research be published. Therefore this book, published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the German Society of Parasitology, compiles 18 reviews on recent “hot topics,” including a new vaccine against malarial parasites; severe diseases with poor chances of treatment (cryptosporidiosis, coccidiosis, theileriosis); vectors (mosquitoes, ticks) and their transmission activities; and fish parasites, including molecular insights into the sex of parasites with a focus on the survival abilities that made them so dangerous. These chapters provide detailed information for researchers, as well as for teachers and students in parasitology.

Download or read book Marine Parasitology written by Klaus Rohde and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2005-09-13 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive, authoritative and up-to-date work provides the definitive overview of marine parasites worldwide. It is an invaluable reference for students and researchers in parasitology and marine biology and will also be of interest to ecologists, aquaculturists and invertebrate biologists. Initial chapters review the diversity and basic biology of the different groups of marine parasites, discussing their morphology, life cycles, infection mechanisms and effects on hosts. The ecology and importance of marine parasites are discussed in the second part of the book, where contributions investigate behavioural and ecological aspects of parasitism and discuss the evolution and zoogeography of marine parasites. In addition, the economic, environmental and medical significance of these organisms is outlined, particularly their importance in aquaculture and their effects on marine mammals and birds. Written by an international team of contributors, the emphasis is on a thorough grounding in marine parasitology combined with reviews of novel concepts and cutting-edge research.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parasitism is one the most common lifestyles on earth. Parasites are important components of virtually all ecological communities and parasite research can help to elucidate many aspects of the ecology of their hosts. This dissertation focused on studying the metazoan parasites of the California grunion, Leuresthes tenuis and other fish hosts in the family Atherinopsidae. In Chapter 1, the metazoan parasites of L. tenuis were investigated at five localities in southern California. A total of 2,902 parasites belonging to 26 taxa were recovered from 900 specimens of L. tenuis collected between 2016 and 2018. Comparisons of parasite communities showed that the parasite fauna of L. tenuis varied among localities. This variation suggests that L. tenuis may stay relatively close to their spawning grounds throughout their lives. In Chapter 2, a redescription is provided of the parasitic copepod Caligus olsoni, associated with L. tenuis and other fishes in the northeast Pacific. Caligus olsoni was morphologically compared to another species, Caligus serratus. In light of the morphological similarities observed between these two species, we propose to treat C. serratus as a junior subjective synonym of C. olsoni. Based on previous reports, C. olsoni appeared to be highly host-specific. However, with the proposed synonymy of C. olsoni and C. serratus, C. olsoni has, in fact, low host specificity, with 16 fish host species currently reported from 12 families. In Chapter 3, the parasite communities of L. tenuis and three other host species in the family Atherinopsidae were compared. A total of 5,677 parasites from 25 taxa were recovered from the four host species. The results showed significant differences in parasite communities in relation to host species. The three most abundant parasite taxa found in this study, which combined accounted for more than 78% of the total number of parasites recovered, were associated with two of the host species. Differences in parasite communities may be explained by variations in diet and feeding strategies among the hosts species investigated.

Download or read book Biology of Sharks and Their Relatives Second Edition written by Jeffrey C. Carrier and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-04-09 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually every area of research associated with sharks and their relatives has been strongly impacted by the revolutionary growth in technology. The questions we can now ask are very different than those reported even two decades ago. Modern immunological and genetic techniques, satellite telemetry and archival tagging, modern phylogenetic analysis, GIS, and bomb dating, are just a few of the techniques and procedures that have become a part of our investigative lexicon. A modern synthesis of the biology of Chondrichthyans, Biology of Sharks and Their Relatives, Second Edition discusses significant advances in the development and application of new molecular techniques to the understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among and between these groups. The book considers the effect of global changes on the status of sharks and their relatives, and how advances in technology and analytical techniques have changed not only how we approach problem solving and scientific investigations, but how we formulate questions. The book also introduces applications of new and novel laboratory devices, techniques, and field instruments. This second edition of the award winning and groundbreaking original exploration of the fundamental elements of the taxonomy, systematics, physiology, and ecology of sharks, skates, rays, and chimera, presents cohesive and integrated coverage of key topics and discusses technological advances used in modern shark research. Offering a well-rounded picture for students and researchers, and far above competitors in scope and research, this new volume holds a wealth of data on the current status of Chondrichthyan research and provides the basis and springboard for original research.
