Parasitism by Monogenoidea in Piaractus mesopotamicus (Characiformes, Characidae) cultivated in Paraná River (Brazil)

Abstract: This study investigated the occurrence, prevalence, mean abundance and mean intensity of monogenoidean parasites in Piaractus mesopotamicus farmed in cages in the reservoir of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Station, Paraná River, Brazil. The parasite distribution pattern and the correlation of prevalence and abundance with the total length of hosts were also investigated. Four monogenoidean species were collected: Anacanthorus penilabiatus, A. toledoensis, Mymarothecium ianwhitingtoni and M. viatorum. All the … Show more

“…So far, species of Piaractus Eigenmann have been found to be parasitized by six species of Monogenoidea, among which Anacanthorus is the parasite genus most represented in this host genus: Anacanthorus penilabiatus Boeger, Husak & Martins, 1995; Anacanthorus spathulatus Kritsky, Thatcher & Kayton 1979; Anacanthorus toledoensis Leão, São Clemente & Cohen, 2015; Mymarothecium ianwhittingtoni Leão, São Clemente & Cohen, 2015; Mymarothecium viatorum Boeger, Piasecki & Sobecka, 2002; Notozothecium janauachensis Belmont-Jégu, Domingues, & Martins, 2004. These parasites have been recorded in Brazil and Peru ( Kritsky et al, 1979 ; Boeger et al, 1995 ; Pamplona-Basilio et al, 2001 ; Martins et al, 2002 ; Cohen & Kohn, 2005 , 2009 ; Lizama et al, 2007 ; Dinis-Vásquez et al, 2014 ; Leão et al, 2015 , 2017 ; Oliveira & Tavares-Dias, 2016 ; Jerônimo et al, 2020 ; Moreira et al, 2019 ). During studies with fish parasites, a new species of Anacanthorus was found parasitizing the gills of a hybrid fish ( P. mesopotamicus x P. brachypomus ) that are commercialized in marketplace located in São Luís Island, Maranhão, Brazil, and another one in the endemic S. brandtii from São Francisco River and are described herein.…”
