“…(Moravec 2004); P. atomon has been recorded from a large number of fish species from the eastern Canadian coast to the Barents Sea (Appy and Burt 1982).The two last−mentioned digenean species have been found in cod caught in the north−eastern shore of the Bornholm Island and Kiel Fjord (Möller 1975;Køie 1984) however, in later years these parasites are not recorded in the Baltic cod. The digeneans have a complex life cycle and their distribution coincides with the geo− graphical distribution of the intermediate hosts, therefore in the Baltic Sea the wa− ter salinity lower than 12‰ is probably a barrier for their expansion (Möller 1978).…”

A total of 142 cods: 60 from the South−East Ground of Bear Island and 82 from the Pomeranian Bay (Baltic Sea) were examined for their ecto− and endoparasites. Twenty different parasite species, comprising one Myxosporea, three Cestoda, four Digenea, seven Nematoda, three Acanthocephala and two Crustacea were found. The parasite component communities comprised 1446 individuals (17 species, six higher taxa) from the Bear Island and 6588 individuals (nine species, three higher taxa) from Pomeranian Bay. The observed parasite host specificity was low, and the intensity in a single fish ranged from one to 279 specimens. The eudominant parasite species were Echinorhynchus gadi, Hemiurus levin− seni and Contracaecum osculatum. The dominant parasite communities from the Bear Is− land were nematodes, but acanthocephalans dominated in cod from the Baltic Sea. It ap− pears that one group of parasites, better adapted for the specific conditions of the macro− habitat, has replaced another. The most prevalent parasites were E. gadi, Anisakis simplex, C. osculatum and Hysterothylacium aduncum, and the mean values of crowding were the highest for E. gadi and Pomphorhynchus laevis. The nematode Camallanus lacustris was noted in this host species for the first time. Only six species of parasites were common to cod from both fishing grounds.

Adults of the acanthocephalan Paratenuisentis ambjguus and the nematode Anguillicola crassus were collected from eels from the river Weser, Germany, and examined for lead levels. In addition to these parasites, different fish tissues (liver, bile and intestine) were also analysed for lead, using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. P ambiguus was found to contain the highest amounts of lead. The mean lead level in A. crassus was much lower, resembling the values obtained from eel tissues. The accumulation capacity of P. ambiguus was about 100 times higher than that of A. crassus.Thus, P. ambiguus can be considered a rather sensitive indicator of lead in aquatic ecosystems.

“…Such a situation can be combined with biotic or abiotic changes in the environment [27], in the application of fish parasites as environmental indicators. Knowledge of the biology of the parasite and its host, the host-parasite relationship and the environment can help to detect environmental changes.…”

Abstract-The increase of environmental damage in coastal and marine areas can affect the presence of marine ecosystems and fishery products such as reducing the type of fish, and causing the decline of fish obtained from the sea. This will certainly affect the socio-economy in coastal areas, especially for groups of fishermen and traders. To prevent the occurrence of environmental damage in coastal and marine areas, it is necessary to develop an early warning system. Anisakidae has the potential as an early warning system as it works as a bioindicator. This research was expost facto research with purposive sampling from two different areas in East Java, between January and March 2016. Thirty samples of groupers from coastal Probolinggo were the areas exposed to anthropogenic effects and thirty samples from coastal Tuban were selected as areas far from anthropogenic effects. The results showed that Anisakidae in groupers between the sample from coastal Probolinggo and coastal Tuban had different levels of parasitological indexes. The prevalence from coastal Probolinggo was only 10%, with the infestation rate being very low 2. It was different with the sample from coastal Tuban, with the prevalence being 80% and infestation rate 5.9%. The data was analysed with a Mann Whitney test which showed that there was a significant difference in Anisakidae infestation in groupers between the two areas. This research showed that areas exposed to anthropoghenic effects have a low infestation rate of Anisakidae if compared with areas far from anthropogenic effects. Knowing the infestation rate of Anisakidae, people and the government can measure and overcome environmental damage in coastal and marine areas.
