  • 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.

Av. Armendáriz 445, Lima 18, Perú; 6Instituto de Patología Animal, Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Austral de Chile, Isla Teja s/n, 5090000, Valdivia, Chile Abstract The tissues and parasites collected from Peruvian fur seals (Arctocephalus australis) and South American sea lions (Otaria byronia) found dead at Punta San Juan, Peru were examined. The respiratory mite, Orthohalarachne attenuata infected 3 out of 32 examined fur seals and 3 out of 8 examined sea lions, however caused moderate to severe lymphohistiocytic pharyngitis only in fur seals. Hookworms, Uncinaria sp, infected 6 of the 32 examined fur seals causing variable degrees of hemorrhagic and eosinophilic enteritis. This parasite caused the death of 2 of these pups. In fur seals and sea lions, Corynosoma australe and Contracaecum osculatum were not associated with significant tissue alterations in the intestine and stomach respectively. Respiratory mites and hookworms have the potential to cause disease and mortality among fur seals, while parasitic infections do not impact significatively the health of sea lions at Punta San Juan, Peru.

Historical reports of H. halichoeri occurring in seals from Endoparasitic mite German waters date back to the end of the 19th century. However, with the disappearance of the grey seal from Coevolution German waters as a consequence of human over-exploitation, the mite vanished from the records and the fauna Recolonisation found in Germany for more than a century. Although a stranding network has been monitoring marine mammal Halichoerus grypus health along the German coasts since the mid 1980s with extensive post-mortem investigations, this study re- ports the first and subsequent findings of H. halichoeri in grey and harbour seals from the North and Baltic Sea from 2014 onwards. The re-emergence of this endoparasitic mite in North and Baltic Sea habitats seems to have occurred simultaneously with the recolonisation of its primary host, the grey seal.

During necropsy of southern sea otters (Enhydra lutra Sea otter nereis) from California submitted to the Marine Wildlife Veterinary Care and Research Center's Sea Otter Acarology Necropsy Program between 1999 and 2017, pathologists occasionally observed nasopulmonary mites infesting Marine parasites the respiratory tracts. Infestation was sometimes accompanied by lesions reflective of mite-associated host tissue Enhydra lutris damage and respiratory illness.

SEATTLE, WA March 1972 NOAA TECHNICAL REPORTS National Marine Fisheries Service, Special Scientific Report-Fisheries Series The major responsibilities of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are to monitor and assess the abundance and geographic distribution of fishery resources, to understand and predict fluctuations in the quantity and distribution of these resources, and to establish levels for optimum use of the resources. NMFS is also charged with the development and implementation of policies for managing national fishing grounds, develop- ment and enforcement of domestic fisheries regulations, surveillance of foreign fishing off United States coastal waters, and the development and enforcement of international fishery agreements and policies. NMFS also as- sists the fishing industry through marketing service and economic analysis programs, and mortgage insurance and vessel construction subsidies. It collects, analyzes, and publishes statistics on various phases of the industry. The Special Scientific Report—Fisheries series was established in 1949. The series carries reports on scien- tific investigations that document long-term continuing programs of NMFS, or intensive scientific reports on studies of restricted scope. The reports may deal with applied fishery problems. The series is also used as a medium for the publication of bibliographies of a specialized scientific nature.
