“…Sardinella brasiliensis is a new host record for most of these species with exceptions made for the digeneans Myosaccium ecaude Montgomery and Parahemiurus merus Price , and for the copepod Clavellisa ilishae Pillai (Moreira et al, 2013). The digenetic trematode M. ecaude was the most abundant, prevalent, and dominant species, representing 72.7% of metazoan parasites collected with greatest values of mean relative dominance and frequency of dominance (Table 2).…”

Between March 2010 and August 2011 were necropsied 100 specimens of Sardinella brasiliensis (Steindachner, 1879), from the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (22°51'S, 43°56'W), to study their community of metazoan parasites. All specimens of S. brasiliensis were parasitized by at least one species of metazoan parasite, with mean of 68.7 ± 71.2 parasites/fish. Eleven species were collected: 3 digeneans, 1 monogenean, 2 cestodes, 3 nematodes and 2 copepods. The digenean Myosaccium ecaude Montgomery was the most abundant, prevalent, and dominant species, representing 72.7% of metazoan parasites collected, showing positive correlation between host's total length and parasite abundance. Total parasite abundance was positively correlated with host's total length. Three pairs of adult endoparasites showed significant positive association and covariation. The parasite community of S. brasiliensis showed dominance by digeneans. Sardinella brasiliensis represents new host record for most found parasite species.Keywords: parasite ecology, community structure, Clupeidae, Sardinella brasiliensis, Brazil.

Occurrence of Clavellisa ilishae(Copepoda: Lernaeopodidae) parasitizing herrings (Actinopterygii: Clupeidae) in Brazil

Abstract: The lernaeopodids are highly specialized copepods which are widely distributed worldwide. In this paper the first record of Clavellisa ilishae Pillai, 1962 in the Neotropical region is documented parasitizing Sardinella brasiliensis from coastal zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
