Argulus sp. (Crustacea: Branchiura) on cod, Gadus morhua from Finnmark, northern Norway

Abstract: Six specimens of an unknown Argulus species were found on a cod caught o¡ the coast of Finnmark in northern Norway. All six were found to be sixth stage male larvae, $ 2.6 mm long and 1.6 mm wide. Argulus has not previously been recorded from cod and this is also the ¢rst record of a marine Argulus from Norwegian waters. The Argulus sp. from cod can be easily distinguished from other marine species found in northern European waters, and also from Norwegian freshwater species of Argulus. It is believed that it … Show more

“…In Europe we can only find three species of Argulus parasitizing freshwater fishes, namely the native A. foliaceus and A. coregoni, and the invasive and now widely spread A. japonicus [10,31]. Other European species of Argulus have been found on marine fishes [10,21].…”

“…Several species are known to be highly pathogenic to cultured fish and, although there have been as yet no reports of Argulus sp. infections in marine aquaculture facilities, several marine species occur in the north-east Atlantic, and they could potentially have a severe negative impact on cultured fish (Schram et al , 2005). There is currently some concern that Argulus sp.…”

“…These species have been reported from marine fish farming facilities in different countries like Chile, Canada and Norway. In addition these can cause mortality in farmed fish stocks (Schram et al, 2005;Catalano and Hutson, 2010). Therefore, the present study was planned to investigate Argulus species, common parasitic infections in freshwater fishes.…”
