    Abstract: This study reports parasitological records of eight species of marine rockfishes (Sebastes auriculatus, S. chlorostictus, S. umbrosus, S. miniatus, S. atrovirens, S. constellatus, S. serranoides, and Scorpaena guttata) collected from Todos Santos bay and ...

    Abstract This study reports parasitological records of eight species of marine rockfishes (Sebastes auriculatus, S. chlorostictus, S. umbrosus, S. miniatus, S. atrovirens, S. constellatus, S. serranoides, and Scorpaena guttata) collected from Todos Santos bay and San Quintin coast, Baja California, Mexico. The vermilion rockfish, S. miniatus, showed the highest parasite species richness (two species of monogeneans, two species of digeneans, three species of nematodes and one species of copepods), while the lowest richness was found in S. atrovirens and S. umbrosus (one species of copepod and one species of nematode, respectively). The species S. auriculatus, S. chlorostictus, S. constellatus, S. serranoides, and S. guttata showed a richness of up to four parasite species. Seven of the eight fish species (except S. atrovirens) presented larval stages of nematodes Anisakis sp., Pseudoterranova sp. and Hysterothylacium sp. (prevalences ranging from 8.3 to 100%), which were found in the fish mesentery (guts). The parasite species with the highest prevalence values (>80%) were found in S. miniatus (Anisakis sp.), S. guttata (Anisakis sp. and Hysterothylacium sp.), S. umbrosus (Anisakis sp.), S. auriculatus (Anisakis sp.), and S. constellatus (Anisakis sp.). The most abundant parasite species (>4 ind./host) were recorded in S. guttata (Anisakis sp. and Hysterothylacium sp.), S. umbrosus (Anisakis sp.), S. constellatus (Parabothriocephalus sagitticeps), and S. miniatus (Anisakis sp.). The parasite species with the highest intensity of infection values (>5 ind./host) were found in S. constellatus (P. sagitticeps), followed by S. guttata (Anisakis sp., Hysterothylacium sp.), S. umbrosus (Anisakis sp.), and S. serranoides (Microcotyle sebastis). The present study, in addition to listing the helminths and parasitic copepod species (and providing quantitative data on them) of eight commercially important scorpaenid fish species in the northwestern Mexico, can also serve as a baseline for future parasitological studies on these fish species.

    Abstract The emerging growth of nanotechnology has attracted great attention due to its application in the parasite and intermediate host control. However, the knowledge concerning the mechanism of action (MoA) and toxicity of nanomaterials (NMs) to snails remain unclear. In this context, the present study revised the historical use of snails as experimental models in nanotoxicological studies and summarized the MoA and toxicity of NMs in aquatic and land snails. The data concerning the bioaccumulation, reproductive and transgenerational toxicity, embryotoxicity, genotoxicity and potential molluscicidal activity of NMs were revised. Furthermore, the data about the experimental conditions, such as exposure time, concentrations, cell and tissue-specific responses, snail species and nanoparticle types are discussed. Revised data showed that the toxic effects of NMs were reported for 21 snail species with medical, veterinary and ecological importance. The NM toxicity to snails is dependent on the physical and chemical properties of NMs, as well as their environmental transformation and experimental design. The NM bioaccumulation on snails was related to several toxic effects, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, oxidative stress, following by oxidative damage to DNA, lipids and proteins. The NM metabolism in snails remains unknown. Results showed the potential use of NMs in the snail control program. Also, significant research gaps and recommendations for future researches are indicated. The present study confirms that snails are suitable invertebrate model system to assess the nanotoxicity.
