“…Most infested fish species have a pelagic life style. Benthic species are less often infested (Djikanovic et al, 2012;Koyun et al, 2015). Especially Gobioidei, a clade of fishes adapted primarily to a benthic life style, are rarely infected by L. cyprinacea (e.g.…”

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.

“…Ancyrocephalus paradoxus is known to infect the gills of pike perch Sander lucioperca (Rolbiecki, 2006;Djikanovic et al, 2012). Öztürk et al (2011) reported this parasite for the first time with an prevalence of 31.9% and mean intensity of 12.07±3.26 in a preliminary study in the same locality where this study was conducted.…”

This comprehensive research study was conducted to determine the monogenean fauna of 16 fish species belonging to Cyprinidae, Mugilidae, Gobiidae, Percidae, Cyprinodontidae, Gasterosteidae, Cobitidae, Atherinidae, Poecilidae and Sygnidae in Lower Kızılırmak Delta located by the coasts of the Black Sea in the northern part of Turkey. A total of 1049 fish specimens were collected during the period between December 2010 and November 2011. Gyrodactylus proterorhini, G. cyprini, G. arcuatus, Dactylogyrus extensus, D. chalcalburni, D. difformis, Ancyrocephalus paradoxus, Ligophorus mediterraneus, L. cephali, Solostamenides mugilis and Paradiplozoan homoion were identified to the specific level while oneGyrodactylus and one Salsuginus species were identified only to the generic level. Some monogeneans were found to be specific to some host families, especially Ligophorus for Mugilidae and Dactylogyrus for Cyprinidae. Prevalence (%) and intensity indices were determined and discussed for each monogenean species and/or genus on respective hosts. All the monogenean species were recorded for the first time in the Lower Kızılırmak Delta. Gyrodactylus cyprini and Ancyrocephalus paradoxus represented new parasite records for Turkey.
