Abstract:
The anatomy of the suction disk of two species of echeneid fishes, Echeneis naucrates L., 1758 and E. neucratoides Zuiew, 1786, is described, and measurements of their suction performance on both smooth and textured surfaces are given. Disk muscles erect or depress the numerous paired laminae, or toothed plates, which bear two to four rows of posteriorly directed spinules. The erect laminae create a sub-ambient chamber, allowing these fishes to adhere to other fish and inanimate objects. Resting sub-ambient suction pressure differentials were recorded, as were the greatest sub-ambient pressure

Abstract:
Abstract Carcharhinus brevipinna (spinner) and Carcharhinus limbatus (blacktip) sharks make spectacular jumps and spinning leaps out of the water. Some believe these are: jumping responses to rid sharksuckers (Echeneis naucrates) that attach to their bodies, chaffing, shuttling, or heat hunter- cool rest behaviors. Examination of North Carolina shark data suggests that C. brevipinna and C. limbatus in temperate waters of North Carolina sense changes in abrupt ocean water temperatures. Echeneis naucrates is just along for the ride. Why after fourty-six years of longlining only one Echeneis nauc

Abstract:
An overview is presented for a poorly documented relationship between reef vertebrates in Southwest Atlantic: remoras (Echeneidae) associated with marine turtles. Two remora species (Echeneis naucrates and Remora remora) and four turtle species (Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Eretmochelys imbricata, and Dermochelys coriacea) are here recorded in symbiotic associations in the SW Atlantic. Echeneis naucrates was recorded both on the coast and on oceanic islands, whereas R. remora was recorded only at oceanic islands and in the open sea. The remora-turtle association is usually regarded as an i

Abstract:
A phylogenetic analysis, based on 138 putatively informative characters, of the 11 species of the superfamily Echeneoidea (Echeneidae, Rachycentridae, and Coryphaenidae) resulted in a single most parsimonious tree. This tree strongly supports the monophyly of the superfamily with the following relationships: Coryphaenidae + (Rachycentridae + (Phtheirichthys lineatus + ((Echeneis naucrates + Echeneis neucratoides) + (Remora brachyptera + (Remora remora + (Remora australis + (Remora osteochir + Remora albescens))))))).

Abstract:
This study used field data of echeneid and ectoparasite associations with free-swimming whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) and captured mako sharks (Isurus oxyrinchus) to test whether (1) echeneid presence was positively correlated with ectoparasite presence; and (2) the number of ectoparasites was negatively correlated with the number of echeneid fish. Data from whale and mako sharks do not support the first hypothesis whereas data from mako sharks yields support for the second hypothesis. The results indicate that echeneids do regulate the number of ectoparasites on at least some host species, b

Abstract:
The single record of the sharksucker (Echeneis naucrates) attached to a spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is based on a photograph taken at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, off northeast Brazil. A careful examination of this photograph demonstrates that the diskfish attached to the dolphin is the whalesucker (Remora australis), a species so far recorded on cetaceans only. Thus, the record of S. longirostris as a host for E. naucrates is here invalidated and the value of vouched records is reiterated. The exaggerated reliance even on refereed papers dealing with species records and checkl
