Article Synopsis
- A new species of parasite named Gyrodactylus ginestrae n. sp. has been identified in the big-scale sand smelt (Atherina boyeri) from the Black Sea, with a high prevalence rate of 70% but low abundance on the fish.
- Morphologically and genetically, it closely resembles G. salinae, a parasite of the Mediterranean killifish, with notable differences in size and structure.
- Molecular analysis using various genetic markers revealed that G. ginestrae n. sp. belongs to a specific marine group and suggests a Boreal-Atlantic origin for this new parasite species.
