“…Positive effect directions (i.e. transformation rates were approximately equal or exceeded native hosts) were only found for one study (Watters & O'Dee, ), and for two studies the effect direction was not determined (Araujo & Ramos, ; Zhokhov, Pugacheva, & Molodozhnikova, ). In only three studies were the inferences based on statistically significant differences, and most results were based on comparisons of non‐native host suitability relative to native hosts.…”

1. Understanding the multiple agents of decline is important for the conservation of globally threatened Unionida (Class Bivalvia), but threats from non-native species have received limited attention. To address this gap, a global meta-analysis was conducted aimed at identifying known interactions and mechanisms of impact and informing potential effect pathways for the New Zealand unionid fauna.2. The main non-native groups identified as interacting with unionids were fish (38% of published studies), macrophytes (33%), and vertebrate predators (30%), with 70% of interactions leading to adverse impacts on mussels. Most studies used field surveys (~50%) and were conducted in rivers (~50%).3. Impacts occurred across the unionid life cycle (adult, glochidia, host, and juvenile), and primarily affected processes that determine the transitions between life-cycle stages (fertilization, infestation, settlement, and maturation). The impacts of nonnative macrophytes and fish were predicted to be greater for transitional stages than the impact of vertebrate predators, which mostly affected adult mussels. New ZealandUnionida are most likely to be affected by interactions with nonnative species in lowland lakes and waterways, where connectivity for diadromous native fish hosts and high bioinvasion potential intersect.

“…This combination of life style and size probably explains why freshwater gobies are rarely infected by L. cyprinacea (e.g. Kvach, 2002;Nagasawa et al, 2007;Zhokhov et al, 2017) (Tab. S1).…”

Lernaea cyprinacea is a non host-specific parasitic copepod known to infest many freshwater fish species. Outbreaks of infestations by this ectoparasite may cause mass mortality of parasitized fishes. L. cyprinacea has been found mostly on pelagic species. Records on small benthic fish species are less common. Especially rare are infestations of Gobioidei adapted to a benthic life style, with reports restricted to Asia and, in Europe, to the Ponto-Caspian region. Although it is cosmopolitan, L. cyprinacea has rarely been found in Italy. One of the few Italian localities with documented infestations is Lake Trasimeno, a lake with an economically important fishery. Although endoparasites of commercially interesting fish species in this lake are well documented, information about ectoparasites is rare. In May 2015, specimens of two gobioids − Knipowitschia panizzae and Pomatoschistus canestrinii − infested with L. cyprinacea were sampled at the south shore of Lake Trasimeno. Both gobies are not native to the lake. This is the first documentation of gobioid fishes as hosts of L. cyprinacea in Italy and in Europe (outside of the Ponto-Caspian region). Although both gobies are not optimal hosts (small size, short life expectancy) they have the potential to carry and to transmit the parasite in freshwater habitats, e.g. by unintentional introduction with fry of other fish species.

Adult stages of digenean flukes are usually well studied, but their larval forms, the metacercariae, do not receive comparable attention of researchers. As a consequence, metacercariae, especially small ones, are routinely overlooked, despite their serious epidemiological and epizootic potential. Therefore, the existing distribution data are patchy and the biogeographic knowledge is far from being complete. We were not able to trace any papers focusing on the depth of penetration of digenean metacercariae in fish tissues. There have been almost no surveys on the metacercariae density (ind. • g-1) in fish muscles. In this study, we were trying to determine the spatial distribution of metacercariae in the muscles of two freshwater cyprinid fishes, the roach, Rutilus rutilus (Linnaeus, 1758) and the bleak, Alburnus alburnus (Linnaeus, 1758). The study area was Lake Dąbie, a large and shallow deltaic lake of the Oder (Odra) River estuary, Poland. We studied a total of 40 roach (12.0-21.5 cm TL 30-120 g TW) and 15 bleak (10.5-14.5 cm TL). The fishes were filleted and each filet was divided into four parts. All muscle tissues were examined for the presence of metacercariae using a trichinoscope and a dissecting microscope. Dorsal muscles of an additional 12 roach were sliced and the depth of metacercariae penetration was assessed. The dominant muscle parasite was Paracoenogonimus ovatus. Metacercariae of other species (Posthodiplostomum cuticula and Apophallus muehlingi) were only sporadically found in muscles roach and bleak (with a preference to the shin). The prevalence of P. ovatus in roach ranged from 66.7% to 100% and the highest infection intensity was 1973 specimens in one fish. The majority of metacercariae (354 out of 363) were found in the outer 50% of the muscle depth. The infection parameters differed between length classes of roach with the class 14.0-15.9 being infected in 100%. The presently reported finding of Paracoenogonimus ovatus in bleak, Alburnus alburnus, constitutes a new hosts record.
