Unravelling the trophic interaction between a parasitic barnacle (Anelasma squalicola) and its host Southern lanternshark (Etmopterus granulosus) using stable isotopes

Abstract: The parasitic barnacle, Anelasma squalicola, is a rare and evolutionary fascinating organism. Unlike most other filter-feeding barnacles, A. squalicola has evolved the capability to uptake nutrient from its host, exclusively parasitizing deepwater sharks of the families Etmopteridae and Pentanchidae. The physiological mechanisms involved in the uptake of nutrients from its host are not yet known. Using stable isotopes and elemental compositions, we followed the fate of nitrogen, carbon and sulphur through vari… Show more

“…It could be hypothesized that, as nutritional conditions are favorable in muscle or abdominal cavity, larvae do not migrate up to the liver. More largely, recent results demonstrated that parasites are able to select the macromolecule of interest they use from their host, sometimes at a larval stage to store nutrients for future reproduction (Sabadel et al 2022;Hesse et al 2023).…”

“…Probably the most unusual topic of this special issue is tackled by Amandine Sabadel from New Zealand and her co-authors from France and New Zealand (Sabadel et al ., 2022). They presented novel data on the parasitic barnacle, Anelasma squalicola (Crustacea: Cirripedia), which is a rare and evolutionary fascinating organism that has evolved the capability to uptake nutrient from its host, deepwater sharks of the families Etmopteridae and Pentachidae.…”
