dc.description.abstract | Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters, 1852), an important aquaculture species investigated herein, is at risk and listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. During a preliminary survey conducted in 2011, 30 Mozambique tilapia from Lake Urema in Gorongosa National Park in central Mozambique, were examined for metazoan parasites. Two groups of ectoparasites were recovered consisting of two species of copepods and a monogenean. Endoparasites retrieved were in the larval stage and included one trematode and one nematode species. This study provides new parasite records for O. mossambicus in Mozambique and forms a baseline for monitoring against the presence of ichthyoparasites associated with the introduction in neighbouring systems of non-native fish such as Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758), a fish of worldwide importance in capture fisheries and especially aquaculture. | - |
dc.description.sponsorship | This project would not have been possible without the financial assistance from the Gregory C Carr Foundation for fieldwork and in part by the Department of Science and Innovation and the National Research Foundation of South Africa (Grant Number 101054). MPMV is financed by the Special Research Fund of Hasselt University (BOF20TT06) The support from Gorongosa National Park field rangers, LP Olivera, T Castigo; park ecologist A Short and Park Director F Steinbruch for the successful execution of this survey is appreciated. University of Limpopo staff members, J Theron and G Geldenhuys, are also thanked for their technical support and assistance in the field. | - |
