Trichodinid ectoparasites (Ciliophora: Peritrichida) from the gills of cultured marine fishes in China, with the description of Trichodinella lomi n. sp.

Abstract:

:Three species of cultured percoids, each heavily infested by trichodinid ectoparasites, were examined from over-wintering pools in Qingdao, China during the winter of 1995. A total of five species of trichodinids belonging to three genera, Trichodinella Sramek-Husek, 1953, Dipartiella Shtein, 1961 and Trichodina Ehrenberg, 1838 were recorded. One new species, Trichodinella lomi n. sp., is described, the denticle of which is characterised by its acutely triangular blade, comma-like central part and inconspicuous ray. The morphology of Trichodina murmanica Poljansky, 1955 was re-investigated. Three other little-known species are redescribed: Dipartiella simplex (Raabe, 1959) Shtein, 1961, Trichodina japonica Imai, Miyazaki & Nomura, 1991 and T. domerguei (Wallengren, 1897).
