“…2). This tendency in the prevalence has also been reported for other fish species and, in many cases, was also statistically (Takao 1990;Adroher et al 1996;Hemmingsen et al 2000;Valero et al 2000Valero et al , 2006a. The low prevalence of the parasite in the youngest sardines may be due to the fish larvae, at least in the Gulf of Lyon, feeding preferentially on phytoplankton (Rasoanarivo et al 1991;Palomera et al 2007 for references), and, consequently, the youngest fish sent to market have had less opportunity than the longer ones to become infected.…”

An epidemiological study was carried out on the anisakids in sardines (Sardina pilchardus) from the southern (Atlantic and Mediterranean) and eastern coasts of Spain. Length of fish was from 12.2-21.0 cm. The anisakids found were identified as the third larval stage (L3) of Hysterothylacium aduncum, with a total prevalence of 11.85%. Prevalence within the host was 9.64% in viscera and 4.69 % in muscle. The highest infection parameters were found in fish from the east coast (western Balearic Sea) with prevalence of 25.21%, mean intensity of 2.10, and mean abundance of 0.52. No worms of the genus Anisakis were found in the 359 sardines analyzed.

“…Our findings extend the geographic distribution of A. typica to the eastern coasts of Tunisia and to Libya, whilst no occurrence of this species has been recorded in the westernmost collecting sites. Several larvae of A. physeteris were also recovered during this study, and its occurrence from the Mediterranean Sea in different fish hosts was already known Orecchia et al 1989;Mattiucci et al 2001Mattiucci et al , 2004Farjallah et al 2006;Valero et al 2006). Its main definitive host is the sperm whale, Physeter catodon Linnaeus, 1758.…”

Larval forms of the genus Anisakis were reported infecting several fish species from the North African coasts of central Mediterranean Sea. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was used to investigate the occurrence of larval forms of different Anisakis species in teleost fishes and squid from North African coasts of the Mediterranean Sea and to establish the geographical and host range of these parasites in this area. A total of 282 Anisakis larvae were identified by PCR-RFLP from 13 teleost fish species and one cephalopod species captured at different sites off the Algerian, Tunisian and Libyan coasts. The type I larvae were found with a frequency of 93.62% and were identified as belonging to the following species: Anisakis simplex s.str., Anisakis pegreffii, A. simplex s.str/A. pegreffii hybrids and Anisakis typica. The type II larvae were found to belong to Anisakis physeteris, with the frequency of 6.38%. The record of A. simplex s.str/A. pegreffii hybrids, previously recorded from the Spanish and Portuguese Atlantic coasts and the Alboran Sea, extends their geographic distribution to the Tunisian coasts. The occurrence of A. simplex s.str. and hybrids away from their known area of distribution may predict the successful use of Anisakis larvae for tagging Scomber scombrus fish stocks for fisheries management purposes. Moreover, the results reported provide valuable information regarding the diversity of Anisakis species in the study area, indicating that several Anisakis sibling and morphospecies coexist in the North African coasts of the Mediterranean Sea.

“…The larvae will penetrate the digestive tract and entered to the abdomen. In contrast, Valero et al (2006) reported the clearly higher prevalence of larvae in viscera than in the muscle tissue of Merluccius merluccius and an increase in parasitization with increasing host length.…”

Setyobudi E, Soeparno, Helmiati S (2011) Infection of Anisakis sp. larvae in some marine fishes from the southern coast of Kulon Progo,. The prevalence, intensity and distribution of Anisakis sp. larvae which infected some fishes at the southern coast of Kulon Progo District were investigated. Totally 95 fish specimens were collected during December 2007. Results of the present study indicated that the Anisakis sp. larvae infected various fish species i.e: Trichiurus lepturus, Parupeneus sp., Lutjanus malabaricus, Terapon jarbua and Caesio sp. Prevalence and mean intensity of infection showed the differences between fish species. The highest mean intensity of infection was found in L. malabaricus (7.71 larvae/infected host) and T. Lepturus (3.18 larvae/infected host), while the lowest intensity of infection was found in Parupeneus sp., T. jarbua and Caesio sp. (1 larvae/infected host). Infected host organs were body cavities (peritoneum), digestive tract, gonads, and liver. Presence of this parasite may be harmful for consumer; however it can be used for several ecological studies as biological tags.
