摘要: This paper focuses on the biology and ecological impacts of Ichthyodinium chabelardi (phylum Dinophyta, class Syndiniophyceae, order Syndiniales), a virulent endobiotic parasite yolk sacs young larvae many species marine fin fish. Its infections have been observed in warm temperate open oceanic environments crowded fish tanks. The prevalence I. range its host fishes is not well studied, our understanding life cycle incomplete. Here, we describe what known about compare this with several other protistan parasites fish, including Amyloodium ocellatum, Saprolegnia parasitica, Sphaerothecum destruens ‘X-cell’ clades Gadixcellia Xcellia, all which are considered emerging generalist infecting wide variety species. Recent findings suggest that rising seawater temperatures might lead to higher infection rates fishes, expect these changing conditions could also expand ranges some parasitic Thus, it essential fishing industry effectively monitors tanks water surrounding for presence zoosporic parasites, chabelardi, so as take steps prevent large losses fisheries.
