“…To date, nothing is known about the specific identity of first intermediate host(s) in Australian waters, but a broad variety of fish, including Acanthopagrus butcheri (Munro, 1949), Aldrichetta forsteri (Valenciennes, 1836), Bidyanus bidyanus (Mitchell, 1838) (reported as Therapon bidyana ), Carassius auratus (Linnaeus, 1758), Chironemus maculosus (Richardson, 1850) (reported as Threpterius maculosus ), Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758, Galaxias maculatus (Jenyns, 1842) (reported as G. attenuates ), G. olidus Günther, 1866, Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859, Hypseleotris klunzingeri (Ogilby, 1898) (reported as Carassiops klunzingeri ), Hypseleotris sp., Maccullochella macquariensis (Cuvier, 1829), Macquaria ambigua (Richardson, 1845), M. colonorum (Günther, 1863) (reported as Percolates colonorum ), Melanotaenia fluviatilis (Castelnau, 1878), Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (Cantor, 1842), Mogurnda adspersa (reported as M. adspersus ), Mugil cephalus Valenciennes, 1836, Nannoperca australis Günther, 1861, Nematalosa erebi (Günther, 1868), Osteomugil cunnesius (Valenciennes, 1836) (reported as Mugil strongylocephalus ), Ostorhinchus fasciatus (White, 1790) (reported as Apogon fasciata ), Philypnodon grandiceps (Krefft, 1864), Planiliza subviridis (Valenciennes, 1836) (reported as Mugil dussumieri ), Platycephalus endrachtensis Castelnau, 1872 (reported as P. arenarius ), P. laevigatus Cuvier, 1829, Pseudocaranx dentex (Bloch & Schneider, 1801), Pseudogobius olorum (Sauvage, 1880) (reported as Mugilogobius galwayi ), Pseudaphritis urvillii (Valenciennes, 1832), Pseudorhombus arsius (Hamilton, 1822), P. jenynsii (Bleeker, 1855), Retropinna semoni (Weber, 1895), Scomber australasicus Cuvier, 1832, Seriola lalandi Valenciennes, 1833, Sillaginodes punctatus (Cuvier, 1829) (reported as S. punctate ), Tandanus tandanus (Mitchell, 1838), Tripodichthys angustifrons (Hollard, 1854), Upeneichthys lineatus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) (reported as U. porosus ) and an unknown fish species belonging to family Atherinidae Risso, 1827 (hardy-head) have been reported as the second intermediate/paratenic host for Contracaecum larval types (Johnston and Mawson, 1940, Johnston and Mawson, 1944, Johnston and Mawson, 1947, Johnston and Mawson, 1951; Cannon, 1977; Lymbery et al, 2002; Shamsi et al, 2011; Jabbar et al, 2013; Shamsi et al, 2017; Shamsi et al, 2018a, Shamsi et al, 2018b). It is believed that the occurrence and abundance of Contracaecum larvae in Australian fish have been significantly underestimated (Shamsi and Suthar, 2016) as most published studies have relied on visual examination of fish.…”

Contracaecum spp. are parasitic nematodes belonging to the family Anisakidae. They are known to be able to have highly pathogenic impacts on both wildlife (fish, birds, marine mammals) and humans. Despite having the most numerous species of any genus of Anisakidae, and despite a wide range of publications on various aspects of their pathogenicity, biology and ecology, there are no recent comprehensive reviews of these important parasites, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. In this article, the diversity of Contracaecum parasites in Australian waters is reviewed and possible anthropological impacts on their populations are discussed. The abundance and diversity of these parasites may have been under-reported due to the inadequacy of common methods used to find them. Populations of Contracaecum parasites may be increasing due to anthropogenic factors. To minimise the risk these parasites pose to public health, preventive education of stakeholders is essential. There are still many unknown aspects of the parasites, such as detailed information on life cycles and host switching, that will be interesting directions for future studies.

“…The detection procedure is another factor that may influence the prevalence reported. Some authors recommend methods such as artificial digestion or incubation [37,50,51]. These techniques can be useful for the examination of larger species such as cod or hake, which often present high larval infection in the muscle, or for inspecting a large number of specimens in an industrial setting.…”

Anisakidosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease which can cause gastroallergic reactions in humans. In 2010, the European Food Safety Agency estimated that approximately 20,000 cases of anisakiasis had been reported across the world, with Spain having the highest number of infections in Europe. The blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou, Risso, 1827) is one of the most widely fished species worldwide and represents around 25% of the white fish eaten in Spain. The Spanish Food Safety Authority requires obligatory evisceration of certain fish species before commercialization, but not for blue whiting. Nevertheless, some supermarkets carry this out themselves to prevent human infections and negative customer reactions deriving from the presence of ascaridoid larvae. To assess the effectiveness of eviscerations at supermarkets, a total of 320 blue whiting specimens were examined. The risk of larval migration from the visceral cavity to the musculature in gutted and ungutted fish was also assessed. Our results showed a total prevalence (25%) of ascaridoids in fish gutted at the supermarket, and a direct relationship was found between the presence of larvae in the muscle and time until evisceration. In ungutted fish, the standard length and weight were higher for infected than for non-infected fish. Also, massive infections had a higher prevalence in these larger specimens, in which the viability of larvae was also high. Larval viability was not found to be affected by a 24-h refrigeration period. Anisakis was the most prevalent genus identified in the fish examined. The results indicate that gutting at the supermarket is not an effective method for the total removal of ascaridoid larvae and that additional safety measures are advisable.

A collection of nematodes from the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (National Museum of Natural History), Paris, France was studied. The nematodes had previously been collected from a range of marine fish hosts. The aim of this study was to investigate the identity of these nematodes. Detailed body measurements of the nematodes were taken via light microscopy and where possible first and second internal transcribed spacers (ITS-1 and ITS-2) of ribosomal DNA were subjected to PCR, purified and sequenced. Six species and three larval types were found from a range of fish species and included 13 new host records and two new geographical records. Of the taxa found, Hysterothylacium kajikiae is the only species which may have zoonotic potential. The majority of host fish in this study are edible species, commercially and recreationally fished and frequently incorporated into the cuisine of New Caledonia as raw fish dishes. This study will allow better understanding of the diversity, life cycles, distribution and host-parasite relationships in the New Caledonia area.
