Are gobiid fish more susceptible to predation of parasitized by Eustrongylides excisus? An answer from robbed snakes

Original language description

Aspects of the predator-prey relationship be- tween dice snake, Natrix tessellata and gobiid fish in- fected with Eustrongylides excisus were studied in Lake Sinoe, Romania. A population of snakes residing here shows a high prevalence of subcutaneous larvae of this nematode. The hypothesis of the altered motility in in- fected fish leading to increased depredation by snakes was tested by comparing gobiids collected from dice snakes with gobiids caught via electrofishing. Out of a total of seven identified gobiid species, three were used for analysis: syrman goby Neogobius syrman, mushroom goby Neogobius eurycephalus, and round goby Neogo- bius melanostomus. No significant differences in preva- lence and intensity of E. excisus infection were found between fish caught by snakes and those obtained by electrofishing. However, significantly higher abundance of E. excisus larvae in fish caught by snakes was re- ported. These findings suggest limited influence of the presence of E. excisus l
