Ecology and Zoogeography of Parasites of Antarctic Fish

The body surface, mouth, gills, internal organs and tissues of 368 teleost fish of 26 species from Prydz Bay, Heard Island, Macquarie Island, Davis Station and Casey Station in Antarctica were examined for parasites. At least eight species of Monogenea, seven species of Copepoda, and five or six species of Acanthocephala were recorded. Overall, the fauna of Monogenea and Copepoda of Antarctic fish is much poorer than that of lower latitudes, and there are fewer species of Gyrodactylidae relative to other Monogenea than at higher northern latitudes. Abundance and species richness of Acanthocephala are relatively high. Quality: Values provided in temporal coverage are approximate only.

Note from the AADC, 2018-08-02:

The original datasheet was reformatted to fit IPT Biodiversity.AQ standard. The new datasheet "AntarticFishParasites.csv" provides the dataset ID, event date, decimal latitude, decimal longitude, continent, country, occurrence, basis of record, protocol and preparation. The organism quantity of parasites identified from host. The lowest taxonomical rank of the species identified that could be determined is provided, after matched in WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species). It also contains the associated taxa, which is as a list of names of taxa and their associations with the occurrence (Host: species), and the associated reference.

本次研究对采自南极普里兹湾、赫德岛、麦夸里岛、戴维斯站与凯西站的26个物种共368条硬骨鱼（teleost fish）的体表、口腔、鳃部、内脏器官及组织开展了寄生虫筛查。本次调查共记录到至少8种单殖吸虫纲（Monogenea）、7种桡足纲（Copepoda）以及5至6种棘头动物门（Acanthocephala）物种。总体而言，南极鱼类所携带的单殖吸虫纲与桡足纲物种丰富度远低于低纬度海域；相较于北半球高纬度区域，南极鱼类中单殖吸虫纲内的三代虫科（Gyrodactylidae）物种占比也相对更低。棘头动物门的种群丰度与物种丰富度则相对较高。

原始数据表已重新格式化以适配IPT Biodiversity.AQ标准。新数据表"AntarticFishParasites.csv"包含数据集ID、事件日期、十进制纬度、十进制经度、大洲、国家、发生记录、记录依据、实验方案与样本制备方式等信息。该表还记录了从宿主样本中鉴定出的寄生虫个体数量。所有可鉴定的物种均已与世界海洋物种登记册（World Register of Marine Species，简称WoRMS）完成匹配，表中提供了可确定的最低分类学等级信息。此外，数据表还包含关联分类单元信息：以列表形式呈现的分类单元名称及其与发生记录的关联关系（宿主：物种），以及相关参考文献。
