The blacktip grouper (Epinephelus fasciatus), also known as the redbanded grouper, blacktipped cod, black-tipped rockcod, footballer cod, red-barred cod, red-barred rockcod, scarlet rock-cod or weathered rock-cod, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses.
Some internal fish parasites are spectacular, such as the philometrid nematode Philometra fasciati which is parasitic in the ovary of female Blacktip grouper; [14] the adult female parasite is a red worm which can reach up to 40 centimetres in length, for a diameter of only 1.6 millimetre; the males are tiny.
The Blacktip grouper, Epinephelus fasciatus is the type-host of Pseudorhabdosynochus caledonicus. The type-host and only recorded host of P. caledonicus is the Blacktip grouper, Epinephelus fasciatus (Serranidae: Epinephelinae). The type-locality and only recorded locality is off Nouméa, New Caledonia. [1]
Cucullanus petterae, scanning electron microscopy. Cucullanus petterae is a species of parasitic nematodes. [1] It is an endoparasite of fish, the Honeycomb grouper Epinephelus merra (Serranidae, Perciformes), which is the type-host, and the Blacktip grouper Epinephelus fasciatus.
An Octopus cyanea hunts with a blue goatfish while a blacktip grouper lies in wait. To understand the inner details of octopus lives, researchers dived for about a month at a reef off the coast of ...
In both papers, the species was described from parasites collected from the same fish species, the grouper Epinephelus akaara off Japan. Kritsky & Beverley-Burton (1986) [2] solved this case with reference to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The type-species of the genus is the name Pseudorhabdosynochus epinepheli Yamaguti, 1958.
A monogenean parasitic on the gill of a grouper. Like other fish, groupers harbor parasites, including digeneans, [24] nematodes, cestodes, monogeneans, isopods, and copepods. A study conducted in New Caledonia has shown that coral reef-associated groupers have about ten species of parasites per fish species. [25]
Philometra fasciati is a species of parasitic nematode of fishes, first found off New Caledonia in the South Pacific, in the gonads Epinephelus fasciatus. [1] This species is characterized mainly by: length of spicules and length and structure of its gubernaculum; structure of male caudal end; body size; location in host and types of hosts.
