Monogenetic Trematodes From The Southern Pacific Ocean Polyopisthocotyleids From The Australian Fishes, The Subfamily Polylabrinae And Microcotylinae, W. A. Dillon, William J. Hargis Jr., Antonio E. Harrises Jan 1987

Monogenetic Trematodes From The Southern Pacific Ocean Polyopisthocotyleids From The Australian Fishes, The Subfamily Polylabrinae And Microcotylinae, W. A. Dillon, William J. Hargis Jr., Antonio E. Harrises

Reports

This eighth of a series of monogenetic trematodes from the Southern Pacific Ocean discusses two species of Monogenea from Australian waters. Polylabroides mylionis n. sp., from the gills of Mylio butcheri, is described. Neobivagina agonostomi (Sandars, 1945} Dillon and Hargis, 1965, from the gills of Aldrichett~ forsteri, is redescribed; a new locality record is reported for Neobivagina agonostomi.


Studies Of Pipefish Foraging In Simulated Seagrass Habitats, Clifford H. Ryer Jan 1987

Studies Of Pipefish Foraging In Simulated Seagrass Habitats, Clifford H. Ryer

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Laboratory experiments determined the effects of two levels of habitat complexity upon pipefish (Syngnathus fuscus) foraging for amphipods. Habitats were composed of equal densities of either narrow (low complexity) or wide (high complexity) leafed artificial seagrass. The response to habitat, as measured by rate of encounter with amphipods, probability of attack after encounter, probability of success after attack, and overall rate of amphipod consumption, was determined for combinations of two fish size classes and three amphipod size classes. Small fish did not experience visually inhibitive effects in either habitat, while large fish had their visual fields impinged upon in the …
