Metazoan parasites of killifish from Mosambique

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this study, we examined 205 specimens of four annual killifish species (Nothobranchius orthonothus, N. furzeri, N. kadleci and N. rachovii) from 14 different localities in south part of Mosambique to study their metazoan parasites and to find factorsresponsible for differences in intra-specific and inter-specific variation of parasite infection. Killifish of the genus Nothobranchius (Cyprinodontiformes, Nothobranchiidae) are small annual fish inhabiting ephemeral rain-fed savannah pools of east Africa. Their life span is very short. It is limited to several months until the pool dries. In that time the fish have to grow, mature and reproduce. The only stage surviving the dry season is the dormant egg buried in the dry substratum, waiting for the onset of the annual rains that fill the pool and enable hatching. The populations are strictly separated, young fish thus cannot obtain parasites directly from parental population. We recorded 17 parasite taxa.
