Abstract Dermoergasilus madagascarensis n. sp. is described from the gills of Paretroplus polyactis , an endemic cichlid fish in Madagascar, using a combined morphological (light microscopy and SEM) molecular approach (partial 18S rDNA, 28S COI sequences). The new species characterized mainly by possessing: (i) roughly pentagonal cephalosome; (ii) antennal endopodal segments covered with slightly inflated membrane; (iii) maxillule bearing 2 equally long outer setae minute inner seta; (iv)...
Abstract Ergasilus (von Nordmann, 1832) (Ergasilidae) is a species-rich group of parasitic copepods with wide distribution in freshwater, marine and brackish environments. Up to now, 9 species are known from cichlid fishes Africa. In this study, 5 species, including 3 new, were collected the gills 12 (11 genera: Bathybates , Ctenochromis Eretmodus Gnathochromis Lamprologus Neolamprologus Ophthalmotilapia Perissodus Simochromis Spathodus Tanganicodus ) northeastern shore Lake Tanganyika...
Multiple factors can facilitate invasion success, with the absence of natural enemies, such as predators and parasites, recognised conferring a significant advantage on invasive over native species. Pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus (Centrarchidae) represents one most successful freshwater fish invaders in Europe. Previous research has highlighted genetic differences between pumpkinseed populations Türkiye those other European regions, attributed to rapid adaptation new environmental conditions....
