New Data on Digenean Parasites of Rusty Blenny, Parablennius sanguinolentus (Pallas, 1814) in the Black Sea
Abstract
Rusty blenny, Parablennius sanguinolentus (Blenniidae) caught in Sinop coasts of
the Black Sea between
May to June 2016 was investigated for digenean parasites. A total of nine digenean species
including adults of Peracreadium genu Nicoll, 1909, Phyllodistomum acceptum Looss, 1909, Magnibursatus
blennii (Paggi and Orecchia, 1975), Monorchis monorchis (Stossich,1890)
Monticelli, 1893, and metacercaria of Galactosomum lacteum (Jägerskiöld, 1896), Bucephalus marinus Vlasenko, 1931, Rhipidocotyle sp., Prosorhynchoides
sp. and Opecoelidae gen. sp. were identified. The infection
prevalence (%), mean intensity levels and photomicrographs of identified
parasites are presented in tables and figures, respectively. Overall infection prevalence (%) and
mean intensity values were 100% and 506.40 ± 120.78 respectively. This
investigation is the first on the digenean parasites of P. sanguinolentis in Turkish Black Sea coasts. Bucephalus
marinus was the core species. Peracreadium genu and Magnibursatus blennii are new parasite
record for Turkey.
