Summary
Weight‐length relationships were established for eleven marine fish species caught in the SE Aegean Sea, Turkey. Additionally, a bibliographic review of such relationships for these species ...was conducted. Based on the results, the values of b parameter varied between 2.477 and 3.496, with one species having isometric growth, five negative and six positive allometric growth. Furthermore, for Aulopus filamentosus there exist no information in the literature, whilst for Callanthias ruber and Gnathophis mystax, there are no such information available from the Mediterranean.
Three specimens (1 male and 2 females) of royal flagfin
(Bloch, 1792) were caught at a depth of 184 m off Erdemli, Mersin Bay (northeastern Mediterranean, Turkey) in June 2015. The present paper ...reports the first occurrence and is the confirmation of royal flagfin
from the northeastern Mediterranean Sea, Turkey. Since it has been recorded only once in the last sixty years, this species could be considered as exceptionally rare in the easternmost area of the Mediterranean Sea, Turkey.
A single male specimen of the royal flagfin (Aulopus filamentosus), 369 mm total length was caught with the longline from the Gokceada Island, north Aegean Sea (Turkey). This report constitutes the ...reconfirmed occurrence which gives precise locality information from the Turkish waters and this record reflects northernmost expansion of this species in the Aegean Sea.
Two members of Aulopiformes (grinners) were examined for myxosporean parasites in their gallbladders.
Synodus saurus
and
Aulopus filamentosus
from Cretan Sea, Greece were infected by
Ceratomyxa
...parasites which are described in this paper. Both species of
Ceratomyxa
are new and referred for the first time as
Ceratomyxa cretensis
n.sp. and
Ceratomyxa filamentosi
n.sp. The new species are described morphologically by light and scanning electron microscopy analysis, and characterized genetically by sequencing the small subunit (SSU) rDNA. The SSU rDNA sequences obtained from the two novel
Ceratomyxa
species were used for the construction of a phylogenetic tree with all the available
Ceratomyxa
SSU rDNA sequences.
Ulovljena su tri primjerka (1 mužjak i 2 ženke) barjaktarke, Aulopus filamentosus (Bloch, 1792), na dubini od 184 m u gradu Erdemli, u zaljevu Mersin (sjeveroistočni Mediteran, Turska) u lipnju 2015. ...godine. U ovom je radu prikazano prvo pojavljivanje te je potvrda barjaktarke, A. filamentosus, iz sjeveroistočnog Sredozemnog mora u Turskoj. S obzirom da je zabilježena samo jednom u posljednjih šezdeset godina, ova vrsta smatra se iznimno rijetkom u najistočnijem dijelu Sredozemnog mora (Turska).
