“…The morphology of our specimens (♂ and ♀) fits with the description of Ho and Lin (2004). Additionally, based on the examination of the present material and also that from previous surveys in the Eastern Pacific (Morales-Serna et al 2014, 2015), we suggest that the shape of the first segment of the antenna and sternal furca may be useful in identifying C.confusus . Clearly, C.confusus has high affinity for carangid fish; nonetheless, this parasite can also be found on fish from different families.…”

We surveyed copepods parasitic on the fishes at Palmyra, a remote atoll in the Central Indo-Pacific faunal region. In total, we collected 849 individual fish, representing 44 species, from the intertidal lagoon flats at Palmyra and recovered 17 parasitic copepod species. The parasitic copepods were:OrbitacolaxwilliamsionMulloidichthysflavolineatus;AnuretesserratusonAcanthurusxanthopterus;CaligusconfususonCarangoidesferdau,Carangoidesorthogrammus,Caranxignobilis,Caranxmelampygus, andCaranxpapuensis;CaliguskapuhilionChaetodonaurigaandChaetodonlunula;CaliguslaticaudusonRhinecanthusaculeatus,Pseudobalistesflavimarginatus,M.flavolineatus,Upeneustaeniopterus,Chrysipteraglauca, andEpinephalusmerra;CaligusmutabilisonLutjanusfulvusandLutjanusmonostigma;CaligusrandallionC.ignobilis;Caligussp. onL.fulvus;CaritusserratusonChanoschanos;LepeophtheiruslewisionA.xanthopterus;LepeophtheirusuluusonC.ignobilis;DissonussimilisonArothronhispidus;Nemesissp. onCarcharhinusmelanopterus;HatschekialongiabdominalisonA.hispidus;HatschekiabicaudataonChaetodonaurigaandChaetodonlunula;KroyerialongicaudaonC.melanopterusandLernanthropussp. onKyphosuscinerascens. All copepod species reported here have been previously reported from the Indo-Pacific but represent new geographical records for Palmyra, demonstrating large-scale parasite dispersion strategies.

“…selene) have been recorded in Carangidae from the Pacific coast of Mexico [32]. Copepods are a highly diverse group that mainly parasitize marine fish [22,28,45]; however, this crustacean group has received limited attention in Mexico [14]; in the present study, they were the second most diverse group and represented 22% of the total taxa recovered ( Table 1).…”

Interannual variation in the metazoan parasite communities of bigeye trevally Caranx sexfasciatus (Pisces, Carangidae)

Parasite communities in Caranx sexfasciatus were characterized and analyzed to determine any interannual variations in structure and/or species composition. In total, 422 C. sexfasciatus were collected from Acapulco Bay, Mexico, between May 2016 and March 2019. Thirty-two taxa of metazoan parasites were identified: five Monogenea, thirteen Digenea, one Acanthocephala, one Cestoda, three Nematoda, seven Copepoda, and two Isopoda. Monogeneans were the most frequent and abundant parasite species in all sampling years. Parasite species richness at the component community level varied significantly from 8 (May 2016) to 25 (March 2019) and was similar to previous reports for other species of Carangidae. The component communities and infracommunities in C. sexfasciatus were characterized by low parasite species numbers, low diversity, and dominance of a single species (the monogenean Neomicrocotyle pacifica). Parasite community structure and species composition varied between sampling years and climatic seasons. Seasonal or local fluctuations in some biotic and abiotic environmental factors probably explain these variations.

“…Since Ch. quaternia and C. bonito shared the site of infection [97], it is likely that EN triggered an increase in their numbers per infected host, which could compete for space and spread to other hosts after some time. Although copepod abundance depends on their intrinsic fecundity and rates of growth and development, density-dependence intra-and inter-specific competition, as well as host responses to infestation, should also be considered [98].…”

The 2015-2016 El Niño increased infection parameters of copepods on Eastern Tropical Pacific dolphinfish populations

et al. 2020

The oceanographic conditions of the Pacific Ocean are largely modified by El Niño (EN), affecting several ecological processes. Parasites and other marine organisms respond to environmental variation, but the influence of the EN cycle on the seasonal variation of parasitic copepods has not been yet evaluated. We analysed the relation between infection parameters (prevalence and mean intensity) of the widespread parasitic copepods Caligus bonito and Charopinopsis quaternia in the dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus and oceanography during the strong 2015-16 EN. Fish were collected from capture fisheries on the Ecuadorian coast (Tropical Eastern Pacific) over a 2-year period. Variations of sea surface temperature (SST), salinity, chlorophyll a (Chl-a), Oceanic Niño Index (ONI), total host length (TL) and monthly infection parameters of both copepod species were analysed using time series and cross-correlations. We used the generalised additive models for determine the relationship between environmental variables and infection parameters. The total body length of the ovigerous females and the length of the eggs of C. bonito were measured in both periods. Infection parameters of both C. bonito and Ch. quaternia showed seasonal and annual patterns associated with the variation of environmental variables examined (SST, salinity, Chl-a and ONI 1+2). Infection parameters of both copepod species were significantly correlated with ONI 1+2, SST, TL and Chl-a throughout the GAMLSS model, and the explained deviance contribution ranged from 16%-36%. Our results suggest than an anomaly higher than +0.5˚C triggers a risen in infection parameters of both parasitic copepods. This risen could be related to increases in egg length, female numbers and the total length of the ovigerous females in EN period. This study provides the first evidence showing that tropical parasitic copepods are sensitive to the influence of EN event, especially from SST variations. The observed behaviour of parasitic copepods likely affects the host populations and structure of the marine ecosystem at different scales.
