    Flesh parasites of fish from central Philippine waters (1993)
    Inter Research
    In:  Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 15 . pp. 81-86.

    Publication Date: 2018-03-23
    Description: In April 1990, 488 marine fish, belonging to 30 species from central Philippine waters, were investigated macroscopically for the occurrence of parasites in their flesh and for anisakid nematodes in their body cavity. Twenty-four fish were found to be infected by 1 of 4 different types of parasites. Unidentified Microspora were found in 4 host species from different families. Plerocercoids of the trypanorhynchid cestode Otobothrium penetrans occurred in the flesh of hemirhamphids and belonids only. Adult nematodes of the genus Philometra were found in the garfish Tylosurus crocodilus. The only parasite found which might be transferable to warm-blooded animals was the L-III stage of Anisakis sp. from the body cavity and the muscle of Muraenesox cinereus. The risk of human infections by parasites through consumption of raw marine fish in the central Philippines therefore is considered to be low.

    Larval nematodes in stomach wall granulomas of smelt Osmerus eperlanus from the German North Sea coast (1992)
    Inter Research
    In:  Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 12 . pp. 177-183.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-16
    Description: Occurrence of stomach wall granulomas in European smelt was studled at 6 locations along the German North Sea coast. Identification of larval nematodes inhabiting these granulomas is provided for the first time. Three species, isolated by pepsin-HC1 digestion, are involved: Hysterothylacium cf. cornutum, Cosmocephalus obvelatus and Paracuaria tridentata. 72% of all stomachs examined were affected. The ratio of number of granulomas to number of the 3 larval species free in the mesentery was 1:1.3. Differences in prevalences and intensities were significant among all locations. Granuloma abundance was highest in samples from the Elbe estuary decreasing in the other locations relative to their distance from the Elbe. There was no relationship between the number of larvae encapsulated on the stomach wall and the number of larval P decipjens in the musculature (r = 0.3). Host condition factor could not be related to number of granulomas. Smelt appaears to be an important transmitter of spiruroid nematode larvae to marine birds in this region.

    Predation on jellyfish by the cephalopod Argonauta argo (1992)
    Inter Research
    In:  Marine Ecology Progress Series, 88 . pp. 293-296.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-26
    Description: An association of Argonauta argo Linnaeus 1758 with Phyllorhiza punctata von Lendenfeld 1884 was observed in situ and collected north of Bohol Island in the Philippine archipelago. The argonaut held the exumbrella of the live lellyfish with its lateral and ventral arms. About half of the medusa bell surface was damaged and large pieces of mesogloea were lacking. The affected exumbrella area was charactenzed by the presence of masses of rod-like bacteria which did not occur on the undamaged ciliated surface. The center of the bell showed 2 holes interpretated as bite marks from the cephalopod. Five channels led from the holes to the medusa's gastric cavity. This connection possibly enabled the argonaut to feed on the tissue and to access particles caught by the secondary mouth papillae of the oral arms of P. punctata. Furthermore, the association could serve A. argo as protection or camouflage against predators because of the stinging capability of the scyphomedusa.
