Tenuisentis
Tenuisentidae is a family of parasitic spiny-headed (or thorny-headed) worms. The family contains two genera, each with one species. Description and taxonomy Species There are two genera, each with a single species. ''Paratenuisentis'' Bullock and Samuel, 1975 * ''Paratenuisentis ambiguus'' (Van Cleave, 1921) ''P. ambiguus'' infects the European eel (''Anguilla anguilla''). ''Tenuisentis'' Van Cleave, 1936 * ''Tenuisentis niloticus'' (Meyer, 1932) ''T. niloticus'' was found infecting the small intestine of the African arowana (''Heterotis niloticus''). The species name ''niloticus'' derives from the species name of the host fish, also ''niloticus''. It has also been found in the Egyptian Nile and River Sourou at Di, Sourou Province, Burkina Faso, Sudan and Mali. It has also been found in the electric catfish (''Malapterurus electricus'') in Lekki Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria.Pak J Biol Sci. 2007 Feb 1;10(3):427-32.

Electric Catfish
Electric catfish or Malapteruridae is a family of catfishes (order Siluriformes). This family includes two genera, '' Malapterurus'' and ''Paradoxoglanis'', with 21 species. Several species of this family have the ability to generate electricity, delivering a shock of up to 350 volts from its electric organ. Electric catfish are found in tropical Africa and the Nile River. Electric catfish are usually nocturnal and carnivorous. Some species feed primarily on other fish, incapacitating their prey with electric discharges, but others are generalist bottom foragers, feeding on things like invertebrates, fish eggs, and detritus. The largest can grow to about 1.2 meters (3 ft) long, but most species are far smaller. Description The Malapteruridae are the only group of catfish with well-developed electrogenic organs; however, electroreceptive systems are widespread in catfishes. The electrogenic organ is derived from anterior body musculature and lines the body cavity. Electric catf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
