Third-stage larvae (L3) of 2 Anisakis nematode species, A. simplex C and A. pegreffii (both A. simplex sibling species complex), were isolated from migrating myctophids around the South Shetland Islands. Gymnoscopelus nicholsi were parasitized by both nematode species, at a prevalence of 22.7% for A. simplex C and 4.0% for A. pegreffii, while Electrona carlsbergi harbored A. simplex C at a prevalence of 9.1%. The ITS-1, 5.8S, and ITS-2 regions of the nematodes were identical to specimens from Pacific Canada or California (A. simplex C) and the coast of China (A. pegreffii), confirming an extensive range of distribution for both species. The occurrence in migrating myctophids coupled with rare findings from other teleosts leads to the conclusion that both species were introduced from outside the Antarctic.

“…They have been used to indicate, for example, bacterial biomass (Palm & Dobberstein, 1999;Palm & Rü ckert, 2009), heavy metals (Sures & Siddall, 2003) or environmental stress (Landsberg et al, 1998) (for reviews on parasitological bioindicators, see Lafferty, 1997;Marcogliese & Cone, 1997;Overstreet, 1997;Williams & MacKenzie, 2003;Marcogliese, 2005;Palm, 2011). Sasal et al (2007) utilized fish parasites to detect anthropogenic influences (urban and industrial pollution) in coral reefs, and Lafferty et al 1999; Klimpel et al, 2006;Palm et al, 2007;Lafferty et al, 2008a). Thus, they reflect the status of the marine food web that might be affected through environmental change.…”

Sixty Epinephelus areolatus were examined for metazoan fish parasites in Indonesia, off Segara Anakan lagoon, Java and in Balinese waters. The study revealed 21 different parasite species, and 14 new host and locality records. The anisakid nematodes Anisakis typica and, for the first time in Indonesia, Anisakis sp. HC-2005 were identified by using molecular methods. Ecological parameters were calculated for both sites off the anthropogenically influenced Segara Anakan lagoon and the relatively undisturbed reference site at the southern Balinese coast. The fish from Segara Anakan demonstrated a significantly higher enzymatic activity (Hepatosomatic index) and a significantly reduced number of heteroxenous gut helminths (e.g. the digenean Didymodiclinus sp., the nematode Raphidascaris sp. and the acanthocephalan Serrasentis sagittifer). Other regional differences for E. areolatus included ecto-/endoparasite ratio, endoparasite diversity, the parasite species composition and prevalence of infection of the respective parasite species. We applied the stargraph method to visualize observed regional differences using grouper parasites as biological indicators for the sampled coastal ecosystems at both sampling sites.

“…However, even a high intensity of infestation with Pseudoterranova decipiens and Contracaecum spp. in Antarctic fish (Kl€ oser et al 1992;Palm 1999;Palm et al 1994Palm et al , 1998Palm et al , 2007 or the frequent infestation of the Atlantic and Baltic Sea herring (e.g. Szostakowska et al 2002;Levsen and Lunestad 2010) with A. simplex (s.s.) has no visible effect on the host's fitness.…”
