项目摘要

A Survey of the Sharks and Rays of Borneo and their Metazoan ParasitesIn a collaborative effort involving parasite and elasmobranch taxonomistsfrom eight different institutions in the US, Australia and Malaysia, thisproject will focus on the elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) and their metazoanparasites of the inshore and freshwater habitats of East Malaysia on theisland of Borneo. Preliminary surveys suggest that this region is home to wellover 100 species of sharks and rays, many of which are poorly known, and atleast some of which are likely to be new to science. At present,essentially no records of metazoan parasites exist for sharks and rays of thisgeographic region. It is anticipated that the project will yield anextensive diversity of metazoan parasites belonging to at least four animalphyla, including all four major groups of platyhelminths, as well as annelids,nematodes and perhaps as many as five major groups of arthropods. Metazoan parasite diversity in sharks and rays generated from data collected in aprevious survey conducted elsewhere will be tested. These data lead to theprediction that this region may yield between 500 and 1,000 species ofmetazoan parasites, well over 50% of which are likely to be new to science.This survey will provide essential baseline taxonomic data to facilitate thedevelopment of a resource management plan in East Malaysia. It will also do much to begin to fill in an enormous gap in our knowledge of parasites ofsharks and rays.

对婆罗洲的鲨鱼和射线的调查及其后代寄生虫在美国，澳大利亚和马来西亚的八个不同机构中涉及的合作努力，涉及寄生虫和弹性分类的调查，将重点放在Elasmobranchs（sharks and Rays）及其新生和新鲜的新鲜的伊斯兰各地的伊斯兰省（Sharks and Rays and Rays）上。初步调查表明，该地区是100种鲨鱼和射线的家园，其中许多是众所周知的，其中一些可能是科学的新手。目前，基本上没有对本地理区域的鲨鱼和射线的后生寄生虫记录。预计该项目将产生至少四个AnimalPhyla的多样化的多样化的多样化的多样化，包括所有四个主要的铂赫尔米特人，以及Annelids，nematodes，也许还有多达五个主要的节肢动物组。将测试从在其他地方进行的无视调查中收集的数据产生的鲨鱼和射线中的后生寄生虫多样性。这些数据导致预测，该区域可能会产生500至1,000种甲虫的寄生虫，其中超过50％可能是科学的新手。这项调查将提供基准的基线分类数据，以促进东马来西亚的资源管理计划。在我们对沙克和射线的寄生虫的了解中，它也将开始填补巨大的空白。
