This survey focuses on an environmental parasitology study by investigating Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) bioaccumulation and the occurrence of Anisakis spp. on common anchovies collected from Moroccan coasts over 9 months through chemical (PAH) and Biological (Biometrics and parasitic) analysis. Obtained results were statistically analyzed and human health risks from anchovies consumption were assessed. The results obtained highlighted the good biological and chemical status of this fish in all stations of Morocco's coasts. Anisakis spp. was present in only four stations in the Atlantic fringe (maximum prevalence 22.22 %). Results have shown non-significant differences for tissue nature (Muscle, viscera) or spatial variation and were within a low range of concentrations well below the European Commission standards. Results have shown no serious harmful risk for humans from this fish consumption (ILCR and HI), and statistical analysis had shown positive correlations between prevalence and Chr, prevalence and sex-ratio, and prevalence and weight.

The association of parasites and diatoms has been previously reported as an important mechanism to control bacteria and parasites to avoid resistance to chemical usage. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diatoms genus and parasites within the gastrointestinal compartments (GICs) of commercial fish in fisheries of the marine Pacific coast of Colombia (Buenaventura). A total of 104 GICs from marine fish were sampled.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the high prevalence of Anisakid nematodes in blue whiting caught off Portugal, using molecular detection methods like conventional PCR and Sanger sequencing.
- All 50 fish examined were infected, with a breakdown revealing 68.1% of the larvae as one species, marking a first report for another species in these fish, indicating a significant public health risk due to rising raw seafood consumption.
- The findings emphasize the need for better detection methods and safety practices to minimize the risk of anisakidosis, alongside further research on the allergenic potential of these parasites and their environmental distribution.

In the last 25 years, nematode parasites of the genus have attracted international attention from various socio-economic sectors, with serious concern about the impact of these parasites on seafood quality and safety, and public health (related to both zoonoses and allergy). A knowledge-based understanding of the population structure of spp. is useful to provide valuable data about the infection dynamics, host specificity and its ability to adapt to local environments and to climate change by adapting to the food-web structure.

The people of Jammu and Kashmir rely heavily on fish as a source of nutritional protein. Fishes also contribute significantly to the local economy of this area. However, several infectious disorders, some of which are brought on by helminth parasites, constitute a persistent threat to fish.
