Abstract Background: Although numerous studies on parasites of the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L. have been conducted in the North Atlantic, comparative analyses on local cod parasite faunas are virtually lacking. The present study is based on examination of large samples of cod from six geographical areas of the North East Atlantic which yielded abundant baseline data on parasite distribution and abundance. -

Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-481-37-867 Abstract: Free-living species often receive greater conservation attention than the parasites they support, with parasite conservation often being hindered by a lack of parasite biodiversity knowl- edge. This study aimed to determine the current state of knowledge regarding parasites of the Southern Hemisphere freshwater fish family Galaxiidae, in order to identify knowledge gaps to focus future research attention. Specifically, we assessed how galaxiid–parasite knowledge differs among geographic regions in relation to research effort (i.e., number of studies or fish individuals examined, extent of tissue examination, taxonomic resolution), in addition to ecological traits known to influ- ence parasite richness. To date, ~50% of galaxiid species have been examined for parasites, though the majority of studies have focused on single parasite taxa rather than assessing the full diversity of macro- and microparasites. The highest number of parasites were observed from Argentinean galaxiids, and studies in all geographic regions were biased towards the highly abundant and most widely distributed galaxiid species, Galaxias maculatus. -

Some Aspects of the Taxonomy and Biology of Adult Spirurine Nematodes Parasitic in Fishes: a Review
FOLIA PARASITOLOGICA 54: 239–257, 2007 REVIEW ARTICLE Some aspects of the taxonomy and biology of adult spirurine nematodes parasitic in fishes: a review František Moravec Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Branišovská 31, 370 05 České Budějovice, Czech Republic Key words: Nematoda, Spirurina, Cystidicolidae, Rhabdochonidae, parasites, fish, taxonomy, biology Abstract. About 300 species belonging to four superfamilies (Gnathostomatoidea, Habronematoidea, Physalopteroidea and Thelazioidea) of the nematode suborder Spirurina are known as the adult parasites of freshwater, brackish-water and marine fishes. They are placed in four families, of which the Gnathostomatidae, including Echinocephalus with a few species and the monotypic Metaleptus, are parasites of elasmobranchs, whereas Ancyracanthus contains one species in teleosts; the Physalopteri- dae is represented in fish by four genera, Bulbocephalus, Heliconema, Paraleptus and Proleptus, each with several species in both elasmobranchs and teleosts. The majority of fish spirurines belongs to the Rhabdochonidae, which includes 10 genera (Beaninema, Fellicola, Hepatinema, Heptochona, Johnstonmawsonia, Megachona, Pancreatonema, Prosungulonema, Rhabdo- chona and Vasorhabdochona) of species parasitizing mainly teleosts, rarely elasmobranchs, and the Cystidicolidae with about 23 genera (Ascarophis, Caballeronema, Capillospirura, Comephoronema, Crenatobronema, Cristitectus, Ctenascarophis, Cyclo- zone, Cystidicola, Cystidicoloides, Johnstonmawsonoides, -

This species is a native species in the basin of the Black Sea (the rivers Morava and Dyje). At present, its local and time- limited occurrence depends on the stocking material from artificial culture. Conditions that will facilitate the formation of a permanent population under natural conditions are not available [Lusk et al. 2004]. […] Status of threat: extinct in the wild [Lusk et al. 2011].” From Freyhof and Kottelat (2008): “The species is severely fragmented within the Danube drainage, where most populations exclusively depend on stocking and natural reproduction is very limited due to habitat alterations and flow regime changes.” From Grabowska et al. (2010): “The exceptional case is huchen (or Danubian salmon), Hucho hucho. The huchen’s native range in Poland was restricted to two small rivers (Czarna Orawa and Czadeczka) of the Danube River basin, […]” Status in the United States Froese and Pauly (2019) report an introduction to the United States between 1870 and 1874 that did not result in an established population. -

Abstract In this paper the major description, epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical sign, diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitic crustaceans in fish has been reviewed. The major crustaceans parasites commonly encountered in cultured and wild fish are: copepods (ergasilidea and lernaeidae), branchiura (argulidae) and isopods). Members of the branchiura and isopod are relatively large and both sexes are parasitic, while copepods are the most common crustacean parasites are generally small to microscopic with both free-living and parasitic stages in their life cycle. These parasitic crustaceans are numerous and have worldwide distribution in fresh, brackish and salt water. Most of them can be seen with naked eyes as they attach to the gills, bodies and fins of the host. -

A Review of Potential Methods to Control and Eradicate the Invasive Gammarid, Dikerogammarus Villosus from UK Waters
Cefas contract report C5525 A review of potential methods to control and eradicate the invasive gammarid, Dikerogammarus villosus from UK waters Paul Stebbing, Stephen Irving, Grant Stentiford and Nicola Mitchard For Defra, Protected Species and Non-native Species Policy Group Commercial in confidence Executive Summary The killer shrimp, Dikerogammarus villosus (Dv) is a large gammarid of Ponto-Caspian origin Dv has invaded and spread over much of mainland Europe where it has out-competed a number of native species. Dv was discovered at Grafham Water, Cambridgeshire, England, in September 2010 and subsequently in Wales in Cardiff Bay and Eglwys Nunydd near Port Talbot. In early 2012 it was found in the Norfolk Broads, the full extent of its distribution in the area is still being determined. The main objective of this work was to review the potential approaches for the control/eradication of invasive Dv populations in the UK. The approaches reviewed include physical removal (e.g. trapping), physical control (e.g. drainage, barriers), biological control (e.g. predation, disease), autocides (e.g. male sterilization and pheromone control) and biocides (the use of chemical pesticides). It should be noted that there have been no specific studies looking at the control and/or eradication of this particular species. The examples presented within this study are therefore primarily related to control of other invasive/pest species or are speculative. Recommendation made and potential applications of techniques are therefore based on expert opinion, but are limited by a relative lack of understanding of the basic life history of D. villosus within its invasive range. -
