Mophological description of the parasitic copepod Pandarus boscii (Siphonostomatoida: Pandaridae) found on the Picked dogfish Squalus acanthias (Squaliformes: Squalidae) in Turkish waters: Descripción morfológica del copépodo parásito, Pandarus boscii (Siphonostomatoida: Pandaridae) encontrado en el Galludo Squalus acanthias (Squaliformes: Squalidae) en los mares de Turquía

Pandarus boscii was previously reported in Mustelus mustelus (basionym: Squalus mustelus), but the original description of P. boscii was incomplete and inadequate. P. boscii is currently accepted as a synonym of Pandarus bicolor. Females of P. boscii differ in that the body is colorless or pale (in P. bicolor the cephalothorax is brown and the dorsum is yellow), the first and distal segments of the antennule have 23-25 plumose setae and 12 setae, respectively (in P. bicolor are 24-26 plumose setae and 13 setae), mandibular blade with 7-8 teeth (in P. bicolor are 8 teeth), maxilliped with one seta (in P. bicolor absent), proximal exopodal segment of the second leg with 5 spines (in P. bicolor are 6 spines). Significant differences were observed between male individuals of the two species, such as: smaller total body measuring 3.5 mm in length (in P. bicolor 3.9 mm), first and distal segments of the antennule with 15-17 plumose setae and 14 setae, respectively (in P. bicolor 26-27 plumose setae and 12 setae), mandibular blade with 7 teeth (in P. bicolor are 8), first antennal segment with one process and maxilliped with one seta (in P. bicolor absent), leg 5 with one naked and one plumose seta (in P. bicolor 3 plumose setae and a robust seta), distal exopodal segment of 3 and 4 legs with 2 spines (in P. bicolor 4 spines), distal endopodal segment of 3 and 4 legs with 4 and 3 setae, respectively (in P. bicolor with 5 and 4 setae). A detailed description of P. boscii is provided from individuals found on the body surface and fins of the spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias, recently collected in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey. Therefore, according to the results Pandarus boscii and P. bicolor are different species

Četiri kopepodna parazita na morskim ribama (Teleostei i Chondrichthyes) u turskim vodama

Four species of copepod, Caligus bonito Wilson, 1905 (Caligidae), Clavellisa scombri Kurz, 1877 (Lernaeopodidae), Pandarus bicolor Leach, 1816 (Pandaridae) and Anchistrotos laqueus Leigh-Sharpe, 1935 (Bomolochidae) were reported from Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758, Scomber scombrus Linnaeus, 1758, Mustelus mustelus Linnaeus, 1758 and Serranus hepatus Linnaeus, 1758. These parasites were recorded for the first time in the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara.Četiri vrste kopepoda, Caligus bonito Wilson, 1905 (Caligidae), Clavellisa scombri Kurz, 1877(Lernaeopodidae), Pandarus bicolor Leach, 1816 (Pandaridae) and Anchistrotos laqueus Leigh-Sharpe, 1935 (Bomolochidae) su pronađene na lampugi, Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758,na skuši, Scomber scombrus Linnaeus, 1758; na psu mekušu, Mustelus mustelus Linnaeus, 1758 ina vučiću, Serranus hepatus Linnaeus, 1758.

Popis cimotoidnih rakova (Crustacea, Isopoda) na morskim ribama Turske

This work describes Cymothoidae species in Turkey. Some species were collected by the authors, i.e., Anilocra frontalis Milne Edwards, 1840; Nerocila orbignyi (Guérin-Méneville, 1829-1832); Ceratothoa italica Schioedte and Meinert, 1883; Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826); Ceratothoa parallela (Otto, 1828); Emetha audouini Milne Edwards, 1840; Livoneca punctata (Uljanin, 1872); Mothocya epimerica Costa, 1851, and Mothocya belonae Bruce, 1986. Four of these are reported amongst the Turkish fauna for the first time, i.e., A. frontalis, C. italica, L. punctata, and M. belonae. A list of Cymothoidae already reported from marine fishes of Turkey plus our new reports includes thirteen species (two yet undetermined) from six genera Anilocra, Nerocila, Ceratothoa, Emetha, Livoneca, and Mothocya, and 27 host species. The distributions, hosts, and reporting authors are given.U radu se daje opis cimotoidnih vrsta rakova u Turskoj. Neke vrste su sabrali autori kao što su Anilocra frontalis (Milne Edwards, 1840); Nerocila orbignyi (Guérin-Méneville, 1829-1832); Ceratothoa italica (Schioedte i Meinert, 1883); Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826); Ceratothoa parallela (Otto, 1828); Emetha audouini (Milne Edwards, 1840); Livoneca punctata (Uljanin, 1872); Mothocya epimerica (Costa, 1851), i Mothocya belonae (Bruce, 1986). Četiri od spomenutih vrsta po prvi su put zabilježene u fauni Turske i to: A.frontalis, C. italica, L. punctata, i M. belonae. Lista cimotoidnih rakova, nađenih na ribama Turske, zajedno s novim nalazima, obuhvaća 13 vrsta (2 još nedeterminirane) iz 6 rodova (Anilocra, Nerocila, Ceratothoa, Emetha, Livoneca, i Mothocya), i 27 ribljih domaćina. Izneseni su podaci o distribuciji i ribljim domaćinima, te odgovarajući autori

Infestation of shore crab gills by a free-living mussel species

Parasitic and commensal species can impact the structure and function of ecological communities and are typically highly specialized to overcome host defences. Here, we report multiple instances of a normally free-living species, the blue mussel Mytilus edulis Linnaeus, 1758, inhabiting the branchial chamber of the shore crab Carcinus maenas (Linnaeus, 1758) collected from widely separated geographical locations. A total of 127 C. maenas were examined from four locations in the English Channel, one location in the Irish Sea and two locations at the entrance of the Baltic Sea. The branchial chambers of three crabs (one from the English Channel and two from Gullmar Fjord, Sweden) were infested with mussels resembling the genus Mytilus. Sequencing at the Me15/16 locus on the polyphenolic adhesive protein gene confirmed the identity as M. edulis. Bivalve infestation always occurred in larger red male individuals. Up to 16 mussels, ranging from 2 to 11 mm in shell length, were found in each individual, either wedged between gill lamellae or attached to the branchial chamber inner wall. This is one of the first reports of a bivalve inhabiting crustacean gills and is an intriguing case of a normally free-living prey species infesting its predato
