Introduction and spread of non-native parasites withSilurus glanisL. (Teleostei: Siluridae) in UK fisheries

Abstract: Despite growing concern of the ecological risks posed by the European catfish Siluris glanis L. in freshwater fisheries, little information exists on the parasite fauna of this silurid catfish in Britain. Parasitological examinations of released S. glanis from four still-water fisheries in England revealed the presence of Thaparocleidus vistulensis (Siwak, 1932) and Ergasilus sieboldi (Nordmann, 1832), both non-native parasites, the latter known to be an important fish pathogen. This represents the first recor… Show more

“…The detection of T. vistulensis represents a new parasite record for the British Isles (Reading et al . ), apparently introduced and disseminated with the movement of European catfish. Owing to the limited number of parasitological examinations conducted on this fish species, it remains feasible that the parasite is common in the gills of this species and has long been established in Britain.…”

“…The relatively high host specificity of these parasites has so far limited disease risks to native fish populations (e.g. Hockley et al 2011;Reading et al 2011). However, examples of serious disease outbreaks following the translocation of monogenean parasites, such as Gyrodactylus salaris (Bauer et al 2002;Bakke et al 2007), highlights the importance of continued monitoring and prompt risk assessment to inform management (Williams et al 2013).…”

“…However, the extreme trophic plasticity typical of the species seemed to prevent this [15,20,21]. Among other impacts associated with catfish invasion there is also the potential for the introduction of new pathogens [22,23].…”
