Clarias gariepinus: A single fish species but how many Gyrodactylus species?
Original language description
In natural habitat sharptooth catfish, C. gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) is widely distributed in Africa. Currently African catfishes are known to be hosts to 12 Gyrodactylus von Nordmann, 1832 species, of which seven have been described from C. gariepinus.During the period August 2011 - May 2013, several localities were sampled to establish gyrodactylid parasites diversity in the southern African region. In total 28 specimens of C. gariepinus were collected on several spots in South Africa (Flag-BushieloDam and Loskop Sand River, Limpopo Province) and Zimbabwe (Zambezi River and Lake Kariba). Parasites were removed from fins and gills, fixed on the slides in glicerin ammonium picrate for morphometric analyses and in 96% ethanol for molecular characterization. The Gyrodactylus prevalence was noted to be 43%.
