1 Parasites of Fishes: List of and Dichotomous Key to the Identification of Major Metazoan Groups George W. Benz 1, and Stephen A. Bullard 2 1 Department of Biology, P.O. Box 60, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN 37132; gbenz@mtsu.edu; 2 Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Department of Coastal Sciences, The University of Southern Mississippi, 703 East Beach Dr., Ocean Springs, MS 39564; ash.bullard@usm.edu Goal: For Aquarists to Make Critical Distinction Between Dangerous and Benign Parasites Aquarium staff that can make the distinction between dangerous and benign parasites can better conserve resources (including money) and avoid disease problems. In this way, they can disregard some infections all together or rapidly initiate treatment to control or eradicate pathogens before infected fish suffer or die. The likelihood of a given metazoan infection harming a fish depends on factors related to the interaction of the parasite s life history (e.g., feeding mode and life cycle) and physical and chemical characteristics of the host s environment (Benz et al., 2001; Benz and Bullard, 2004). In closed environments such as aquaria, some parasites cause disease whereas others are benign under the same set of host and environmental conditions. Hence, money and time are well-spent in treating potentially problematic infections while those resources are unnecessary and/or wasted by focusing on benign infections (Benz and Bullard, 2004). Furthermore, unnecessary treatments are costly and may harm the infected host more than the target parasites could ever harm that host. Thus, aquarium staff should accurately identify parasites and understand the health risks associated with infections. To help aquarium staff make the critical distinction between dangerous and benign parasites, we presented a Fish Health Workshop, April, prior to the 2005 Eastern Regional Conference of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association. The workshop provided an overview of the major groups of metazoan parasites that infect freshwater, estuarine, and marine fishes in nature and captivity; including information to help husbandry staff diagnose infections and identify parasites, as well as to understand parasite life cycles, host-parasite interactions (including diseases caused by parasites), and special considerations linked to captivity such as quarantine, prophylaxis, parasite control, and general husbandry practices. While it is not possible to provide a comprehensive summary of the workshop, this report provides information on two major workshop themes, i.e., identification of metazoan parasites and assignment of parasites to functional or risk groups to simplify husbandry decisions. A list of the major groups of metazoan parasites that infect fishes is presented as is a dichotomous key to the identification of these same parasites. Assigning Metazoan Parasites to Functional Health-Risk Categories Twenty-one major metazoan groups (Hydrozoa, Myxozoa, Tricladida, Aspidogastrea, Digenea, Monogenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Acanthocephala, Hirudinida, Gastropoda, Pelecypoda, Acari, Ostracoda, Copepoda, Argulidea, Porocephalida, Cirripedia, Isopoda, Amphipoda, Craniata) infect fishes. We assign the fish parasites of each group to one of three categories based on their potential for causing disease and the course of general action that should be triggered upon identifying them. The functional risk categories are: high risk group (i.e., organisms typically pathogenic or seemingly so and requiring immediate treatment), 2) medium risk group (i.e., organisms not typically pathogenic but worthy of cautious and close monitoring, or immediate mechanical removal if possible), and 3) low risk group (i.e., organisms benign and not worthy of treatment or monitoring) (Table 1). As per the foregoing risk category definitions, a review of the literature, and consideration of unpublished observations, we only consider monogeneans (Monogenea), leeches (Hirudinida), argulids (Argulidea), and isopods (Isopoda) to be high risk groups (Table 1). Copepods (Copepoda) and nematodes (Nematoda) are medium risk groups, and in lieu of other relevant information we consider all other major groups of metazoans as low risk groups (Table 1).
2 Pigeon-holing major groups of metazoan parasites into the three aforementioned functional risk categories may seem arbitrary to some; however, we believe that these categories hold merit in light of the dearth of knowledge about specific parasite species and the great number of parasites that infect Table 1. Classification and common names of metazoan groups that include parasites of fishes. 1 Bold entries indicate major groups of taxa presented in the identification key provided in the text and risk assignments mentioned in the text. Asterisks indicate groups whose membership is entirely parasitic.

The classification used here is a mixture of several widely accepted schemes. fishes. Nevertheless, it should be noted that not all members of a major metazoan group pose an identical health risk to hosts and thus species-level information regarding some parasites or environmental information important to the progression of particular infections may require case-specific considerations of health risk. For example, some low risk parasites might require control under special circumstances. Unfortunately, the myriad of circumstances under which this may occur are beyond the scope of this report. Hence, husbandry staff and veterinarians should confer with parasitologists when assignment to a particular risk category is in question. Generally, we recommend that only high risk groups and several lower-taxonomic groups of pathogenic copepods such as anchor worms (Lernaea
3 Benz, G. W. & S. A. Bullard Parasites of fishes: list and dichotomous key to identification of major metazoan groups. 9 spp.) and some species of sea lice (Caligidae) and gill maggots (Lernaeopodidae) be addressed with eradication or control protocols aimed at prophylaxis. Nevertheless, although no compelling evidence supports the routine control of any other major metazoan group for health purposes, some parasites (e.g., some ectoparasitic copepods) are large and their presence may upset patrons at public aquariums or they can be associated with unsightly lesions that may facilitate disease caused by opportunistic pathogens. Given that these parasites are usually easy to mechanically remove or eradicate using various parasiticides, we encourage their elimination when this poses minimal risk to the host. Identifying Metazoan Parasites of Fishes Although parasite identification is a prerequisite for effective disease control, many metazoan parasites of fishes frequently are misidentified because they are small, anatomically complex, and delicate organisms that require extensive preparation techniques. With that in mind and to help reduce the frequency of misidentifications, we developed an identification key to the metazoan parasites of fishes that is userfriendly in the sense that it requires very little preparation of study samples and the use of a lowmagnification microscope only. Although the key is geared for identifying adult parasites, it also facilitates the identification of many parasite larvae and juveniles. Parasite groups are not arranged by ancestry within the key, and some parasite characteristics used in the key pertain to species that infect fishes only. Although one can identify a parasite to a major metazoan group by using this key, species-, genus- or family-level identifications depend on reference to scientific literature (e.g., peer-reviewed or synoptic literature) or assistance from a taxonomic authority. The risk group assignment for each major group presented in the key is listed in Table 1. Readers that are curious about parasite diseases, prophylaxis, and control may benefit by reading Benz et al. (2001) and Benz and Bullard (2004) and the cited literature therein.
