Parasites as biological tags for stock discrimination of marine fish: a guide to procedures and methods
Ken MacKenzie,Pablo Abaunza +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to provide a guide for parasitologists and fishery biologists to the use of parasites as biological tags for stock discrimination of marine fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasites as Pollution Indicators in Marine Ecosystems: a Proposed Early Warning System
TL;DR: There are good reasons for focusing on parasites in the search for indicators to monitor the effects of pollutants on marine organisms, particularly in parasites with complex life cycles, which have delicate free-living transmission stages which are highly sensitive to environmental change.
Book ChapterDOI
Parasites as Biological Tags
Ken MacKenzie,Pablo Abaunza +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides a guide for parasitologists and fishery biologists to the use of parasites as biological tags for stock identification of marine fish, and recommends an interdisciplinary approach in which the results from different methods are compared and used to complement one another.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic analysis of Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 based on the small subunit (18S) ribosomal RNA gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Levels of intra-host and temporal sequence variation in a large CO1 sub-units from Anisakis simplex sensu stricto (Rudolphi 1809) (Nematoda: Anisakisdae): implications for fisheries management
Marcus A. Cross,Marcus A. Cross,C. Collins,N. Campbell,Phillip C. Watts,James C. Chubb,Carey O. Cunningham,E. M. C. Hatfield,Ken MacKenzie +8 more
TL;DR: Temporal homogeneity in the CO1 gene coupled with the ubiquitous and widespread nature of the parasite indicates both the potential and limitations for its incorporation in stock-separation studies of its hosts.
