Mercury (Hg) was measured in the muscle, liver, and gonads of Haemulopsis elongatus and Pomadasys macracanthus from Mazatlán (SE Gulf of California) to determine the relationships of the hepatosomatic index (HSI) and gonadosomatic index (GSI) of fish with Hg concentrations in the corresponding tissues. Health risk to consumers was assessed by using...

Harry hotlips (Plectorhinchus gibbosus), belonging to the fish family Haeumulidae, is recorded for the first time off the Iranian coast of the Oman Sea, Chabahar Bay (25°18′N, 60°37′E). Identification confirmed by comparing morphological data of the collected specimen with data of reported congener species off this area.

Taillessness (absence of the caudal fin and some of the caudal peduncle) and skeletal deformity is described in 2 striped piggy Pomadasys stridens (Haemulidae) specimens collected from the Persian Gulf along the coast of Hormuz Island, Iran. Deformed specimens were entirely missing caudal fins along with at least 1 caudal vertebra, caudal portions ...

During the examination of 913 fish specimens belonging to four families in the Campeche Bank (Gulf of Mexico), 23 gill ectoparasitic monogenean species were found, which belong to three families: Dactylogyridae, Microcotylidae and Diclidophoridae. The species Euryhaliotremaamydrum, E.carbuncularium, E.dunlapae, E.fajeravilae, E.fastigatum, E.longib...

Risk of infection by parasites may be an important contributing cause or consequence of animal movement patterns. The diel movement patterns of French grunt, a common Caribbean coral reef fish, are well documented and known to connect reef and seagrass habitat. In the northeastern Caribbean, French grunts are known to be infected by Anilocra haemul...

The genus Haemulon contains some of the most abundant and ecologically important reef fishes in the South Atlantic Ocean. However, their life history attributes have not been widely studied. Knowledge of ontogenetic changes in their resource use is critical to understanding the processes structuring natural communities. The present study analysed o...

Grunts are fish that are well known to vocalize, but how they produce their grunting sounds has not been clearly identified. In addition to characterizing acoustic signals and hearing in the French grunt Haemulon flavolineatum, the present study investigates the sound-production mechanism of this species by means of high-speed X-ray videos and scan...

During a parasitological survey of the reef ichthyofauna in the Caribbean coast of Mexico, parasitic siphonostomatoid copepods were obtained from the white grunt Haemulon plumierii (Lacepède) and the blue striped grunt H. sciurus (Shaw). Caligus haemulonis Krøyer, 1863 has been recorded from both species of Haemulon in the Northwestern Tropical Atl...

Preflexion to postflexion larvae (2.1–8.0 mm) of Diagramma pictum (Haemulidae) occur in coastal Tosa Bay, Japan from May to September. They can be distinguished from the other haemulid larvae by head spination, location of anus, and melanophore patterns. Compared with larvae identified as the same species from Australia, there are significantly mor...
