Issue Date: | 2004 | Journal: | Scientia Marina | Abstract: | Ceratothoa steindachneri (Isopoda: Cymothoidae) and Pentacapsula cutanea (Myxozoa: Pentacapsulidae) parasites infecting the blacktail-comber (Serranus atricauda) were considered suitable as biological tags for stock identification around the islands of La Palma and Gran Canaria, in the Western and Eastern areas of the Canarian archipelago, respectively. The ecological parameters of both species differed significantly between the islands. While individuals caught off La Palma showed a high degree of infection by the isopod, a single infected fish was found off Gran Canaria. Also, the myxozoans showed a high level of infection on fish from Gran Canaria but it was reported on only a single specimen from La Palma. Ceratothoa steindachneri (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) y Pentacapsula cutanea (Myxozoa, Pentacapsulidae) seconsideran marcadores biológicos adecuados para la identificación de stocks de la cabrilla (Serranus atricauda) en las islasde La Palma y Gran Canaria, en las áreas occidental y oriental del Archipiélago Canario, respectivamente.Los parámetrosecológicos para ambas especies difieren significativamente entre islas. Mientras que los peces capturados en La Palmamuestran un alto grado de infestación por el isópodo, sólo se encontró un único individuo afectado por este parásito en GranCanaria. También, el myxozoo mostró un alto nivel de infestación sobre los peces procedentes de Gran Canaria, aunque úni-camente se encontró en un pez muestreado en La Palma. |
