Abstract:
:Metazoan parasites of guilds of benthic snails and crustaceans and of four fish families--Gobiidae, Gasterosteidae, Syngnathidae, and Zoarcidae--were investigated off the brackish Salzhaff area (Southwest Baltic) in the semienclosed Salzhaff and the near Rerik Riff in the free Baltic. Comparisons revealed greater similarities in parasite populations and communities within the fish guilds than between them. According to an evaluation of the core-/satellite-species concept using abundance values, the most important parasites of fish were some generalists, such as Cryptocotyle spp., Podocotyle atomon, and Diplostomum spathaceum, as well as some specialists, such as Acanthostomum balthicum, Thersitina gasterostei, and Aphalloides timmi. These specialists revealed high degrees of prevalence in their main hosts and lower degrees in one or two by-hosts. Additional importance is assigned to parasites that cause harm to their hosts due to their large size, e.g., Schistocephalus spp., or via massive infestation, e.g., several digenean metacercariae. Because specialists were more prominent in snails and fish from the Rerik Riff, the correlation of host numbers with prevalence resulted in only a slight increase instead of a more rapid rise in regression among crustaceans and fish from the entire Salzhaff, where the generalists were more prevalent. The selected host guilds demonstrated the entire life cycles of three digeneans (P. atomon, A. balthicum, A. timmi), one acanthocephalan (Echinorhynchus gadi), and one nematode (Hysterothylacium sp.). The prevalence increased in these cycles from host level to host level and attained relatively high values in all guilds. The parasite fauna of the Salzhaff area is influenced by eutrophication stress, which leads to a high level of productivity and, consequently, to great densities in primary consumers such as snails and crustaceans. These are attractive for several secondary consumers such as fish and birds, which is the reason for the existence of at least 24 autogenic and 20 allogenic parasite species at this locality. The slight surplus of the first category indicates a yet-balanced environment in the investigation area.
