Neoechinorhynchus agilis (Rudolphi, 1819)

Syn: Echinorhynchus agilis Rudolphi, 1819

Host: Liza aurata

Infection site: intestine

According to Cleave (1922), Neoechinorhynchus agilis is restricted to fish of the genus Mugil in the Mediterranean Sea.

Numerous authors ( Keser et al. [2007] in the Dardanelles; Merella and Garippa [2001] and Schmidt and Paperna [1978] in the Mediterranean Sea; Kostylew

[1926], Florescu and Ieniştea [1984], Radujkovic [1989], Dmitrieva and Gaevskaya [2000], and Kostadinova [2008] in the Black Sea) found N. agilis in fish of the family Mugilidae . Nevertheless, Pérez-del Olmo et al. (2007) and Pérez-del Olmo (2008) found the parasite in Boops boops ( Sparidae ) in the Mediterranean Sea.

Palaeacanthocephala

Echinorhynchida

Arhythmacanthidae

Acanthocephaloides irregularis Amin et al. 2011

Host: Scorpaena porcus

Infection site: intestine

A. irregularis was established in Parablennius zvonimiri ( Blenniidae ), Ponticola eurycephalus ( Gobiidae ), and Syngnathus abaster ( Syngnathidae ) in the Black Sea by Amin et al. (2011).

Nematoda

Secernentea

Ascaridida

Anisakidae

Hysterothylacium aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802)

Syn: Contracaecum aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802)

Hosts: Merlangius merlangus euxinus , Trachurus mediterraneus , Engraulis encrasicholus , Belone belone , Caspialosa sp. , Sciaena umbra , Scorpaena porcus , Spicara smaris , Gobius niger , Sarda sarda , Uranoscopus scaber , Mullus barbatus .

Infection site: intestine, pyloric ceca, stomach

Hysterothylacium aduncum is a common parasite not only of marine fish but also of brackish fish ( Fagerholm, 1982). This parasite was found in various marine fish in the Pacific Ocean ( Shih and Jeng, 2002) and the Atlantic Ocean ( Sey, 1970a; Gaevskaya and Rodyuk, 1988; Williams and Bunkley-Williams, 1996; Alvarez et al., 2002; Costa and Biscoito, 2003; Morozinska-Gogol, 2006, 2008; MacKenzie et al., 2008; Kellermanns et al., 2009) and the Antarctic region (Brickle et al., 2005). Furthermore, it is understood from an analysis of research presented in various related studies that this parasite is found in various fish from the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean Sea, the Sea of Marmara, and the Black Sea.

Anisakis pegreffii Campana-Rouget & Biocca, 1955

Host: Trachurus mediterraneus

Infection site: intestine

The genus Anisakis is a cosmopolitan endoparasite of various cetacean species in its adult stage and of various invertebrate and fish hosts in its larval stages. A. simplex (s. s.) is the most common species found in all samples from NE Atlantic waters, with its relative proportion decreasing from north (south coast of Norway) to south (Portuguese coast off Algarve). In contrast, A. pegreffii is the most prevalent species in the Mediterranean Sea ( Mattiucci et al., 2008). A. pegreffii was recorded in the same host by Utuk et al. (2012) in Turkey.

Spirurida

Cystidicolidae

Ascarophis sp. Beneden, 1871

Syn: Ascaropsis Power and Sedgwick, 1880

Host: Scorpaena porcus

Infection site: intestine

This parasite was previously recorded in the Atlantic Ocean by Sey (1970b), Klimpel et al. (2006 b), and Palm and Klimpel (2008) and from the Mediterranean Sea by Arculeo et al. (1997) in various fish. In addition, Ascarophis sp. was found in some crustaceans in the Black Sea by Lozovskiy and Mordvinova (2009) and Korniychuk (2009).
