Effects of Parasites on Marine Maniacs
EFFECTS OF PARASITES ON MARINE MANIACS JOSEPH R. GERACI and DAVID J. ST.AUBIN Department of Pathology Ontario Veterinary College University of Guefph Guelph, Ontario Canada INTRODUCTION Parasites of marine mammals have been the focus of numerous reports dealing with taxonomy, distribution and ecology (Defyamure, 1955). Descriptions of associated tissue damage are also available, with attempts to link severity of disease with morbidity and mortality of individuals and populations. This paper is not intended to duplicate that Iiterature. Instead we focus on those organisms which we perceive to be pathogenic, while tempering some of the more exaggerated int~~retations. We deal with life cycles by emphasizing unusual adap~t~ons of selected organisms, and have neces- sarily limited our selection of the literature to highlight that theme. For this discussion we address the parasites of cetaceans---baleen whales (mysticetes), and toothed whales, dolphins and porpoises (odon- tocetes): pinnipeds-true seals (phocidsf, fur seals and sea Iions (otariidsf and walruses (adobenids); sirenians~anatees and dugongs, and the djminutive sea otter. ECTOPARASITES We use the term “ectoparasite’” loosely, when referring to organisms ranging from algae to fish which somehow cling to the surface of a marine mammal, and whose mode of attachment, feeding behavior, and relationship with the host or transport animal are sufficiently obscure that the term parasite cannot be excluded. What is clear is that these organisms damage the integument in some way. For example: a whale entering the coid waters of the Antarctic can acquire a yelIow film over its body. Blue whales so discoiored are known as “sulfur bottoms”. -

However, we know little about the life histeries of these parasites. Ihis paper discusses a nasal mite (Orthohatarachne attenuata) that infests the respiratory tract of Stel]er sealions. Of22 sea 1ions sampled around Hokkaido in 1996, the nasal cavities of 12 were infested with the mites. An average of 23 mites were found in each infested sea lion. Ihere was no correlatien between the age ofthe sea lions and the number ofmites they contained. The heads of9 pups were also examined to cleterrnine when first infestation occurred. No pups were infested and none had inflamed nasal cavities.

1 Amphipoda of the Northeast Pacific
Amphipoda of the Northeast Pacific (Equator to Aleutians, intertidal to abyss): VII. Caprelloidea – a review Donald B. Cadien, LACSD 22July04 (revised 20Apr15) Preface The purpose of this review is to bring together information on all of the species reported to occur in the NEP fauna. It is not a straight path to the identification of your unknown animal. It is a resource guide to assist you in making the required identification in full knowledge of what the possibilities are. Never forget that there are other, as yet unreported species from the coverage area; some described, some new to science. The natural world is wonderfully diverse, and we have just scratched its surface. Anthropogenic transport is also constantly introducing exotic species into our area, particularly in this superfamily. Introduction to the Caprelloidea Until recent years the caprellids were viewed as a separate suborder of the order Amphipoda, equivalent to the gammarids and the hyperiids. The discovery of the caprogammarids (Kudrjashov & Vassilenko 1966) began to call this into question (McCain 1968, 1970; Laubitz 1976, J. L. Barnard & Karaman 1983), and, following the revisionary work of Myers and Lowry (2003), they are fully nested into the gammaroids based on morphologically based cladistic analysis of their phylogeny. This position was retained in the larger analysis of Lowry & Myers (2013) which established the senticaudates, to which all of the caprellidians belong. Not all workers are willing to accept the revisions of Myers and Lowry, particularly Stella Vassilenko, who feels that it is inappropriate and based on the wrong evidence (Vassilenko 2006). She feels that caprellids should retain their own separate suborder as Caprellidea, and that Cyamida and Caprellida both should retain infraordinal rank. -
