brill C. guntheri in New Zealand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies were conducted to determine the cause of the acute mortality of juvenile turbot Colistium nudipinnis and brill, C. guntheri in an experimental rearing facility. Gross signs of disease included loss of appetite, erratic swimming, distended abdomens caused by an accumulation of clear fluid in the stomach and intestines, and haemorrhagic lesions on the underside and bases of the fins. Histological examination of the liver and kidney showed focal areas of necrosis and extensive haemorrhaging. Other lesions included necrosis and sloughing of the mucosa of the stomach and intestine, and sparse vacuolation in the brain and spinal chord. Bacteria isolated from the liver, kidney, and spleen included Vibrio splendidus I, and V. campbellii-like variants. Examination of the liver, kidney, and brain by electron microscopy failed to detect the presence of viral particles and samples of brain were negative against anti-SJNNV rabbit serum. It appears that the mortalities were due to infection by opportunist bacteria in fish predisposed by a combination of adverse factors including an acute period of poor water quality and perhaps an inadequate diet. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Low genetic divergence obscures phylogeny among populations of Sphenodon, remnant of an ancient reptile lineage.
Tuatara (two species of Sphenodon) are the last representatives of a branch of an ancient reptilian lineage, Sphenodontia, that have been isolated on the New Zealand landmass for 82 million years. We present analyses of geographic variation in allozymes, mitochondrial DNA, nuclear DNA sequences, and one-way albumin immunological comparisons. These all confirm a surprisingly low level of genetic...

متن کاملGenetic and Morphological Analyses Demonstrate That Schizolecis guntheri (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) Is Likely to Be a Species Complex
Schizolecis is a monotypic genus of Siluriformes widely distributed throughout isolated coastal drainages of southeastern Brazil. Previous studies have shown that fish groups found in isolated river basins tend to differentiate over time in the absence of gene flow, resulting in allopatric speciation. In this study, we used partial sequences of the mitochondrial gene COI with the analysis of th...
متن کاملInvestigating Childhood and Adolescence Poisoning Exposures in New Zealand Reported to the National Poisons Centre during 2000-2009
Background: Poisoning incidents, in both children and adolescents, are known to occur in New Zealand but little is known about the agents implicated. Methods: All the calls received over the ten years between 2000 and 2009, by the National Poison Centre in New Zealand, were retrospectively reviewed. Calls related to cases involving those less than 19 years were included. The data were analy...
