“…On the other hand, Pérez-Ponce de León et al (2018) added Steringotrema robertpoulini Pérez-Ponce de León, Anglade & Randhawa, 2018 from a shallow water pleuronectid to the phylogeny, finding it a sister species to S. dorsolineatus ( Reimer, 1985 ) from deep sea ipnopids, which together form a clade sister to the remaining members of Steringophorus . Bray and Waeschenbach (2020) produced a phylogenetic tree which also placed Steringotrema robertpoulini within the genus Steringotrema , but not as sister to S. dorsolineatus . They found that the family divided distinctly into two well supported clades, one of parasites of shallow and warm water fishes and the other of deep-sea or cold-water fishes, with the pattern spoiled by the position of Steringotrema robertpoulini .…”

The developments in the study of digeneans of deep-sea fish in the 21st Century are documented and discussed. Most recent work has been on the bathyal fauna (i.e. 1,000m-2,999 m depth), with virtually nothing on the abyssal fauna (i.e. deeper than 3,000 m). The one study on hydrothermal vent digeneans has indicated that these regions probably harbour a distinctive fauna. The demarcation of the deep-sea fauna is blurred at the poles, where the cold-adapted fauna appears similar to the shallower bathyal fauna. The abyssal fauna, however, appears distinct, possibly due to adaptations to variable or ultra-high pressures. The digenean fauna of bathypelagic fishes is depauperate. Recent phylogenetic studies reinforce the view that the typical deep-sea fauna has radiated in the deep-sea. Encroachment into the deep from shallow water is relatively rare. Overall, the digenean fauna in the deep-sea is distinctly less diverse that the equivalent fauna in shallow waters. A major conclusion is that our understanding of the deep-sea digenean fauna is poor, and that much further work over a much wider area is needed.

Taxonomic and molecular characterization of Pseudosteringophorus profundis sp. nov. (Digenea, Fellodistomidae), a parasite of Macrourus holotrachys Günther, 1878 (Gadiformes, Macrouridae) from the deep sea southeastern Pacific Ocean

Pseudosteringophorus profundissp. nov. a new species of deep-sea digenean, parasitizing the gallbladder of the “Bigeye grenadier” (Macrourus holotrachys Günther, 1878) in the deep waters of the southeastern Pacific Ocean is described on the basis of morphological and molecular (28S rRNA) data. The new species is distinguishable from Pseudosteringophorus hoplognathi Yamaguti, 1940, the only other member of the genus, by its subterminal oral sucker, the position of the ovary and testes, the larger anterior seminal vesicle compared to the posterior one, and its larger eggs. In addition, the new species is a parasite of a deep-sea fish, whereas P. hoplognathi is a parasite of shallow-water fish. A phylogenetic tree, based on 28S rDNA sequences, indicates that this species is included in a clade of deep-sea fellodistomid species (Steringophorus spp.). We provide the first molecular data on the genus Pseudosteringophorus Yamaguti, 1940 and expand the molecular database for the family Fellodistomidae. Further studies, including sequences from other fellodistomid taxa, are needed to more precisely infer relationships within this family.
