Echinoplectanum Plectropomi
''Echinoplectanum'' is a genus of monopisthocotylean monogeneans in the family Diplectanidae. All its species are parasites on the gills of fish; hosts recorded to date are all groupers (Family Serranidae), including coralgroupers (genus ''Plectropomus'') and the Dusky grouper (''Epinephelus marginatus''). So far, species of ''Echinoplectanum'' have been recorded only from fish caught off Australia, New Caledonia and in the Mediterranean Sea. The type-species of the genus is '' Echinoplectanum laeve'' Justine & Euzet, 2006.

Echinoplectanum Laeve
''Echinoplectanum laeve'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the black-saddled coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus laevis''. It has been described in 2006. ''E. laeve'' is the type-species of the genus ''Echinoplectanum''. Etymology ''Echinoplectanum laeve'' was named for the species of its type-host, ''Plectropomus laevis''. Justine & Euzet also indicated that “the epithet ''laeve'' (Latin for smooth) was not inappropriate for a diplectanid without tegumental body scales”.

Serranidae
The Serranidae are a large family of fishes belonging to the order Perciformes. The family contains about 450 species in 65 genera, including the sea basses and the groupers (subfamily Epinephelinae). Although many species are small, in some cases less than , the giant grouper (''Epinephelus lanceolatus'') is one of the largest bony fishes in the world, growing to in length and in weight. Representatives of this group live in tropical and subtropical seas worldwide. Characteristics Many serranid species are brightly colored, and many of the larger species are caught commercially for food. They are usually found over reefs, in tropical to subtropical waters along the coasts. Serranids are generally robust in form, with large mouths and small spines on the gill coverings. They typically have several rows of sharp teeth, usually with a pair of particularly large, canine-like teeth projecting from the lower jaw. All serranids are carnivorous. Although some species, especially i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Echinoplectanum Rarum
''Echinoplectanum rarum'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the leopard coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus leopardus''. It has been described in 2006. This species is very rare and represented only 2% of the specimens of ''Echinoplectanum'' spp. found in ''P. leopardus''.

Echinoplectanum Pudicum
''Echinoplectanum pudicum'' is a species of diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the leopard coralgrouper, ''Plectropomus leopardus''. It has been described in 2006. This species was distinguished from all other species of the genus ''Echinoplectanum'' by the shape and small size of its male copulatory organ, and the apparent absence of a sclerotised vagina. Etymology The epithet ''pudicum'' (Latin for bashful, chaste) refers to the low level of development of the reproductive organs.

Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean Basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Western and Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, and on the east by the Levant. The Sea has played a central role in the history of Western civilization. Geological evidence indicates that around 5.9 million years ago, the Mediterranean was cut off from the Atlantic and was partly or completely desiccated over a period of some 600,000 years during the Messinian salinity crisis before being refilled by the Zanclean flood about 5.3 million years ago. The Mediterranean Sea covers an area of about , representing 0.7% of the global ocean surface, but its connection to the Atlantic via the Strait of Gibraltar—the narrow strait that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and separates the Iberian Peninsula in Europe from Morocco in Africa—is only wide.
