Anguillicolosis Infection and Pathological Status of the Swim Bladder Wetland Eels (Extreme North-East of Algeria)

Histopathological changes from parasitic Nematoda infestation in the musculature of some marine teleost fishes from the Algerian coast

“…People's eating habits have changed, with increased consumption of raw marine fishes such as those used to prepare sushi or ceviche (Bao et al 2017). Data demonstrate the importance of this nematode parasite in public health and the risk of infection from this seafood-borne disease worldwide, which affects many different fish species destined for human consumption such as M. surmuletus (Hassani et al 2015), Phycis blennoides (Brünnich) (Hassani and Kerfouf 2014), T. trachurus (Ichalal et al 2015), P. acarne (Hadjou et al 2017), Anguilla anguilla (L.) (Tahri et al 2017), Pagellus erythrinus (L.) (Saadi et al 2019), and S. aurita (Ramdani et al 2020). It is well known that the consumption of raw or undercooked fish increases the risk of zoonoses.…”

Composition and variations diet of the European eel Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758) in Tonga Lake, North-East Algeria.

“…Despite its economic and ecological interest, its biology and ecology are still insufficiently known, both in brackish and freshwaters. The main information available concerns its infestation by the nematode parasite A. crassus, mainly in the hydrosystems of El-Tarf Wilaya (Tahri et al 2017;Bakaria et al 2018;Oudjane, 2021;Dia et al 2022;Tahri 2023). The preliminary data on the biochemistry (fatty acids) and biology (energy reserves, growth, diet) of A. anguilla are only available for the hydrosystems of eastern Algeria: Lake Tonga (Ladjama et al 2016;Djouahra and Arab 2017;Zard-Gharsallah et al 2021), Mellah lagoon (Ladjama et al 2016;Zard-Gharsallah et al 2021;Derbal et al 2022) and Wadi El-Kebir (Derbal et al 2022).…”
