“…The prevalence of T. coryphaenae (6%) recorded along the coast of Benin was lower than that recorded off the coast of South Africa in oilfish ( Ruvettus pretiosus ) (100%) and snoek ( Thryrsites atun ) (49.7%) [ 38 , 39 ], and in the black scabbardfish ( Aphanopus carbo ) (25.8%) from Portuguese waters [ 40 ]. However, the prevalence was higher than those recorded from Scomber japonicus (2%) and South African sardines ( Sardinops sagax ) (1%) off the coast of South Africa [ 7 , 41 ].…”

This study is the first to provide information on the parasite fauna of Sardinella maderensis along the coasts of Benin and Ghana, and the first to investigate the potential use of parasites as biological tags in fish population studies in the area. It may thus serve as a starting point for upcoming studies. From February to June 2021, a total of 200 S. maderensis were sampled from the fishing port of Cotonou (Benin) and the Elmina landing site (Ghana). The prevalence and abundance of each parasite were recorded. The following are the outcomes of this study: Parasite species, such as Parahemiurus merus, Mazocraeoides sp. and Hysterothylacium fortalezae, were recorded along the coasts of Benin and Ghana, while Anisakis sp(p). and Tentacularia coryphaenae were only recorded along the coast of Benin. Parahemiurus merus was the most prevalent and abundant among all the parasites recorded. Anisakis sp(p). and T. coryphaenae were selected as having potential in the stock identification of S. maderensis. Both parasites were only recorded along the coast of Benin at a low prevalence. As a result, examinations of more S. maderensis from each location for these parasites may justify their use in stock identification studies.

“…Konsumsi ikan ini dalam jumlah yang banyak menyebabkan diare berminyak (Keriorrhea) sehingga masyarakat Teon, Nila dan Serua (TNS) di Maluku Tengah mengolah ikan babi menjadi produk fermentasi yang disebut inasua (Mahulette et al, 2016). Di daerah lain ikan ini dimanfaatkan sebagai pencahar karena memiliki efek laksatif (Nunkoo et al, 2017).…”

Inasua ikan babi (Ruvettus tydemani) adalah produk fermentasi ikan yang sangat digemari masyarakat Teon, Nila, dan Serua (TNS) di Maluku Tengah. Produk fermentasi ini diolah dengan menambahkan garam saja (inasua tanpa nira) atau garam dan nira kelapa (inasua nira). Inasua ikan babi sejak lama dikonsumsi masyarakat TNS tetapi karakteristik mikrobiologi dan kimia produk fermentasi ini belum pernah diteliti. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan karakteristik mikrobiologi dan kimia inasua ikan babi untuk mengetahui kelayakan produk ini sebelum dikonsumsi. Analisis Mikrobiologi menggunakan metode hitungan cawan pada media Nutrient agar (NA), Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA), de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe Agar (MRSA) dan Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMBA) sedangkan analisis kimia meliputi uji kadar histamin, Total Volatile Base-Nitrogen (TVB-N), Trimethylamine-Nitrogen (TMA-N), asam lemak bebas dan mineral. Sebanyak 7 isolat ditemukan pada inasua tanpa nira, sedangkan inasua nira hanya ditemukan 6 isolat yang didominasi oleh Staphylococcus dan Bacillus. Kadar TVB-N dan TMA-N inasua tanpa nira sedikit lebih tinggi dibanding inasua nira, sebaliknya kadar histamin dan asam lemak bebas inasua nira lebih tinggi dibandingkan inasua tanpa nira. Secara umum inasua nira memiliki jumlah bakteri patogen lebih sedikit dibandingkan inasua nira, sebaliknya karakteristik kimia inasua tanpa nira lebih aman untuk dikonsumsi dibandingkan inasua nira.

Twenty-one species of acanthocephalans, representative of thirteen genera from ten families of seven orders and three classes, are included in this updated checklist of acanthocephalans in South Africa.Although South Africa appears to have a less diverse acanthocephalan fauna compared to some other countries such as Iran in Asia, or Brazil in South America, this is probably an artefact of fewer parasitological surveys.
