ПАРАЗИТОЦЕНОЗ СУДАКА (Sander lucioperca) КУРШСКОГО ЗАЛИВА

Паразитофауна судака водоемов Калининградской области изучалась фрагментарно, и данные о ней носят устаревший характер. Для оценки ихтиопатологического состояния рыбы необходим постоянный мониторинг изменений в составе паразитофауны и показателей зараженности. Проведены четырехлетние исследования паразитофауны судака, обитающего в российской части Куршского залива (Балтийское море). У судака обнаружено 18 видов паразитических орга-низмов: миксоспоридии Myxobolus dispar; микроспоридии Glugea luciopercae; моногенеи Ancyrocephalus paradoxus; цестоды Triaenophorus nodulosus, Diphyllo-bothrium latum; трематоды Bunocotyle cingulate, Diplostomum spathaceum, Tylodel-phys clavata, Bunodera luciopercae, Azygia lucii, Ichthyocotylurus platycephalus, I. variegatus, Bucephalus polymorphus; нематоды Raphidascaris acus, Camallanus lacustris; скребни Acanthocephalus lucii, Corynosoma strumosum; паразитические ракообразные Achtheres percarum. Полный паразитологический анализ проводился по методике, разработанной И. Е. Быховской-Павловской. В паразитоценозе судака преобладают паразиты со сложным жизненным циклом (со сменой промежуточных хозяев). Так, в 2016 г. их доля составила 76,5 % (13 видов); 2017 – 73,4 (11); 2018 –71,4 (10); 2019 – 73,4% (11 видов), тогда как с прямым циклом развития в 2016 г. было 23,5%; 2017 – 26,6; 2018 – 28,6; 2019 – 26,6% (по четыре вида в каждом исследуемом году) паразитов. Повышение зараженности судака трематодами может указывать на процессы эвтрофикации в водоеме. За четыре года исследований наблюдались значительные различия в составе паразитофауны и экстенсивности заражения отдельных видов паразитических организмов. Ос-новной путь заражения паразитами со сложным циклом развития – трофический. Представители класса трематод доминируют в паразитофауне судака Куршского залива (восемь видов). Наибольшая экстенсивность инвазии зарегистрирована у моногенеи Ancyrocephalus paradoxus (100% в 2019 г.), метацеркария трематоды Ichthyocotylurus platycephalus (100% в 2019 г.) и паразитического ракообразного Achtheres percarum (100% в 2016-2019 гг.).

PIKE’S (ESOX LUCIUS) PARASITOPHAUNA OF THE RIVER VYATKA

This study aims to study the pike (Esox lucius) parasitic fauna in the Vyatka River of the Kirov region. Studies were conducted at two sites in the middle of the river Vyatka in 2016–2018 The distance between them is 300 km. A total of 26 individuals were investigated. Caught specimens of fish were examined for the presence of parasites in accordance with generally accepted methods. Over the entire period of studying the pike parasite fauna in the Vyatka River, 24 different parasite species were recorded by various researchers. As a result of our research, 9 species of parasites were recorded, trematodes – 1 species – Azygia lucii, cestodes – 1 species - Triaenophorus nodulosus, nematodes – 2 species – Сamallanus lacustris, Raphidascaris acus, proboscis worm – 3 species – Acanthocephalus anguillae, Acanthocephalus lucii, Neoechinorhynchus rutili, crustaceans 1 species – Ergasilus sieboldi and glochidia 1 species – Anodonta cygnea. The total infection of pike with all kinds of parasites was 100%, with intestinal species – 66.6%. The high extensiveness of invasion is marked by crustaceans Ergasilus sieboldi – 73.1%. The study provides a comparative analysis of the parasite fauna of the common pike in the Vyatka River over 80 years. There is a tendency to reduce the species diversity of pike parasites from 24 species to 9, the disappearance of some species and the acquisition of new ones – proboscis worm Acanthocephalus anguillae with extensiveness of invasion – 15.4%, intensity of invasion – 5.3 specimen, abundance index – 0.81 specimen. The results obtained allow us to conclude that there is a significant decrease in the species diversity of pike parasites, which is probably due to the influence of the anthropogenic factor.

Ultrastructure of the vitellarium in the digeneans Phyllodistomum angulatum (Plagiorchiida, Gorgoderidae) and Azygia lucii (Strigeida, Azygiidae)

Fine structural features of the vitellarium of two digeneans, Phyllodistomum angulatum and Azygia lucii, are documented and compared with those of other digenean species. The cytodifferentiation of immature vitelline cells (vitellocytes) assumes the production and subsequent accumulation in their cytoplasm of several inclusions. Mature vitelline cells of P. angulatum are characterized by the presence of vitelline clusters (∼2.7 μm in diameter, with ∼100 vitelline globules of ∼0.35 μm in diameter) and osmiophobic, saturated lipid droplets (∼2-3 μm in diameter), and in A. lucii vitelline clusters of the same diameter include much fewer vitelline globules (∼50 globules of ∼0.5 μm in diameter), osmiophilic lipid droplets and α-glycogen. In both P. angulatum and A. lucii, interstitial cells are also present within the vitellarium. Two types of contact sites (septate and tight junctions) between adjoining interstitial cells also occur in both digenean species. Judging from the present and previous ultrastructural studies, it is suggested that there are three potential discriminatory characters of the digenean vitellarium (the number of different types of cell components within the vitellarium, the presence and type of junctional complexes between these cells, and the isolation of the vitellarium from the surrounding tissue) which may prove useful for a better understanding of the biology and evolutionary history of the different digenean groups.
