Growth of Captive Juvenile Tripletail Lobotes surinamensis

Diet of Tripletail, Lobotes Surinamensis, from Mississippi

The diet of tripletail, Lobotes .I'urinamellsis, collected from the Mississippi Sound and Mississippi's offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico between April and September 1995-1997, was investigated through analysis of stomach contents. Of 178 tripJctail stomachs examined, 136 (76%) contained prey items, and 42 (24%) were empty. TripletaiJ with prey in their stomachs ranged from 183 to 787111111...

Grouped Tooth Replacement in the Oral Jaws of the Tripletail, Lobotes surinamensis (Perciformes: Lobotidae), with a Discussion of Its Proposed Relationship to Datnioides

Lobotes surinamensis is a widely distributed marine perciform and is the sole member of the family Lobotidae, which has unclear phylogenetic affinities. In this paper we describe and illustrate a mode of tooth replacement in Lobotes that we name ‘‘grouped’’ tooth replacement. Lateral oral teeth are replaced intraosseously, i.e., developing replacement teeth can clearly be seen beneath them with...

Five new species of philometrid nematodes (Philometridae) from marine fishes off Java, Indonesia.

Based on light and scanning electron microscopical studies, the following five species of the Philometridae (Nematoda: Dracunculoidea) are described from female specimens collected from marine fishes off the southwestern coast of Java, Indonesia: Philometra lobotidis sp. n. from the abdominal cavity of the Atlantic tripletail Lobotes surinamensis (Bloch) (Lobotidae, Perciformes); Philometra jav...
