“…Adults may live free from the host for up to 15 days. A. foliaceus is an obligatory blood sucker and can survive for only a few days without the host fish, depending on size and ambient temperature (Koyun 2011). This parasite infected the skin, fins and gills of the freshwater fishes hosts (Yildiz and Kumantas 2002).…”

The genus Argulus (Crustacea: Branchiura), or fish louse, are common parasites of freshwater fish. This parasite have a direct life cycles and mature females leave the host and lay several hundred eggs on vegetation and various objects in the water. It caused pathological changes due to direct tissue damage and secondary infections. Besides the damage and stress caused by Argulus itself, one of the main worries for fish producers are the associated secondary infestations and infections that can result from infestation with this ecto-parasite. From 300 samples, only 20 (6.67 %) samples were infested with this parasite and 280 (93.33 %) not infested. In the present study, Argulus foliaceus was reported on goldfish and Koi which this was first recorded in Kerman, southeast of Iran. According to the presented study, it is clear that A. foliaceus can act as a potential risk factor for natural ecosystems and native fish population of Iran and other countries, that should be mentioned to prevent the burst of new parasitic fauna to Iran and different countries as well as stop direct economic losses caused by mortality derived from infestation with this ecto-parasite.

“…A small number of parasites species like protozoa are apparently non-host specific species and have been found in a largescale of brackish water or fresh fish species all over the world. A. foliaceus were reported from different fish species global and reported by some of the goldfish in Turkey [8,13,16] . In the present study, A. foliaceus was reported on guppy (Poecilia reticulata) which this was first recorded in Isfahan, Iran and findings of the present study are comparable to the findings of Mirzaei and Khovand [2] .…”

SummaryThis study was aimed to determine the prevalence Argulus foliaceus and some fungal diseases of ornamental fishes (discus, dwarf gourami and guppy) in Isfahan, Iran. The 90 ornamental fish from 2 pet fish supply store in Isfahan city of Iran were randomly selected. The study demonstrated that only 2 out of those 90 samples were infested with A. foliaceus. The highest infestation rate was in Dwarf gourami (Trichogaster lalius) (23.31%), and the lowest infestation rate was in Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) (6.66%). A total of 90 fishes of 3 species were examined. The contaminant fungal species were identified as Acremonium sp., Aspergillus sp., Alternaria sp., Penicillium sp., and Saprolegnia sp.. Fungal infection was observed in discus, dwarf gourami and guppy. According to the presented study, it is clear that A. foliaceus can act as a potential risk factor for natural ecosystems and native fish population of Iran and other countries. Keywords

The bleak Alburnus alburnus is a medium body-size leuciscid fish that is naturally distributed across central European and western Asian fresh waters. However, during the last two decades A. alburnus has been widely introduced elsewhere in Europe and in northern Africa, mostly as a forage species for game fishes. Given its relatively recent history of invasion in non-native Eurasian waters, where it can become highly abundant, A. alburnus poses a serious risk to native communities where introduced. This study provides a review and meta-analysis of the biological traits of A. alburnus coupled with insights into its invasiveness. In its native range, A. alburnus has a moderate lifespan, inhabiting lakes or still waters in medium-to-large rivers, where it feeds mainly on zooplankton. However, non-native A. alburnus populations display high phenotypic plasticity in their biological attributes. Thus, growth, reproductive and/or dietary traits have adapted to local environmental conditions, with the species also invading lotic (stream) ecosystems. Feeding changes to benthic invertebrates, plant material and detritus when zooplankton is scarce. Such plasticity, including broad physiological tolerance, is likely to facilitate the species' adaptation and invasion of new habitats in the near future.
