Kudoa anatolica, was investigated for its impacts on the nutritional composition
of host fish. Based on the infection densities of K. anatolica, fish were
grouped to have uninfected control (A), slightly (B), moderately (C), and
highly infected (D). While there were no significant changes in the crude
protein (CP), crude lipid (CL), and energy contents (p > .05), significant
changes were determined in the total amino acid content between groups
(p < .05). The present study proved changes in the proximate, fatty acid, and
amino acid composition in flesh and the negative impacts of a Kudoa
species.
than the other. Valves narrowed gradually toward slightly truncated ends. The mean (range) dimensions of spores were 9.4 (8.5−10.0) μm in length and 49.6 (44.5−55.0) μm in thickness, with polar capsules that were 3.1 (2.7−3.5) μm in length and 3.2 (2.7−3.5) μm in width. Polar filaments were coiled with 4−5 turns. Large numbers of immature forms of C. scophthalmi sp. nov., which were often ‘crumpled’, and mature forms were found together in the gallbladder bile. Along with morphological differences, phylogenetic analysis based on 18S rDNA, including pairwise nucleotide
similarities with other related Ceratomyxa species, suggests C. scophthalmi as a novel species. Moreover, this report provides the first morphological and molecular descriptions of M. finnmarchicum outside of its original geographical location and type host species.
