“…Temporal and spatial structural changes in marine parasite communities have been associated with seasonal and local variations in biotic and abiotic environmental factors. Variations in parasite species composition and infection levels over time can be attributed also to these factors [20,44,45,47]. In the tropics, structural changes in parasite communities have always been associated with host traits such as age, body size, feeding behavior, host density, and vagility.…”

“…In the tropics, structural changes in parasite communities have always been associated with host traits such as age, body size, feeding behavior, host density, and vagility. These can promote high colonisation and exposure rates by new species of parasite and have been associated with parasite communities of high diversity and species richness [26,39,42,46,47].…”

“…In tropical regions conducted studies on temporal variation in fish populations [15,44,45,47] revealed that temporal variation in species richness and parasite community structure was affected by biotic and abiotic factors, such as water temperature and oxygen levels, availability of intermediate hosts, as well as human impacts. Even though, there is still little evidence that parasite communities vary over time [15,20,25,46].…”

Several factors influence the structure of parasite communities, which are important components of the biodiversity of various ecosystems. Some of these factors may be related to the environment and/or to the host. The present study evaluated the influence of host size and season on the structure of the metazoan parasite community of the brown-spotted grouper, Epinephelus chlorostigma. One hundred thirty-two fish were collected between March 2018 to February 2019 from the Red Sea, Saudi coast, Southern Saudi Arabia. Eight parasite species were recorded: one copepod (Sarcotaces sp.), one isopod (Argathona rhinoceros), two monogeneans (Pseudorhabdosynochus epinepheli and Megalocotyloides epinepheli), three digeneans (Prosorhynchus epinepheli, Helicometrina nimia, and Erilepturus hamati), and one nematode (Cucullanus epinepheli). The overall prevalence was 43.2% Digeneans were the most frequent parasite species and represented (50.55%) followed by monogeneans (45.05%), crustacean (3.42%), and nematode (0.98%) of the total individual parasites collected from 57 infected fish. Parasite community structure and species composition varied significantly among host size. Positive associations were found between infection parameters of parasite species and host size. Our results suggest that parasite infection parameters were affected by host size and season. Further long-term research is required to conclude the factors determining the structuring of the parasite community of E. chlorostigma.

“…These two groups exhibit different transmission strategies. Ectoparasites, for example, are often transmitted between individual hosts through contact, whereas endoparasites use trophic transmission routes (Violante-González et al, 2019). Biotic factors (nutritional component, age, host density, vagility, social behavior, and host body size) and environmental abiotic factors can cause fluctuations in the richness and diversity of the macroparasite species (Henríquez and González, 2012;Bellay et al, 2020;Santos-Bustos et al, 2020;Llopis-Belenguer et al, 2020;Minaya et al, 2020c).…”

This study aimed to report the community of macroparasites of the Pacific barracuda Sphyraena ensis Jordan and Gilbert, 1882 (Perciformes, Sphyraenidae) from the north coast of Peru. From September to October 2019, 138 specimens of S. ensis were acquired from Caleta de Zorritos, Contralmirante Villar Province, Tumbes, on the north coast of Peru. The community of parasites found consisted of nine species of parasites including monogeneans, copepods, trematodes and nematodes. The total body length of the fish was negatively correlated with the mean intensity of infestation of Pseudochauhanea sp. The mean abundance of Pseudochauhanea sp. also showed a marked significant difference between the populations of male and female fish, being more associated with males. We provide a list of macroparasites recorded in fish of the genus Sphyraena in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Checklist dataset published through GBIF (Doi: 10.15470/5htffh)
