Pseudorhadinorhynchus salmothymi isolation from brown trout in Krka river (Croatia)
In the wild fish there could be found a large range of parasites, but usually only present in small numbers. In contrast with cultured fish, outbreaks of parasitism in the wild may go unnoticed. The aim of this study was to describe and identify the acantocephalan endoparasite discovered in the intestine of free-living brown trout. Parasites recovered from the intestines of the infested brown trout living in Krka river were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formaline and identified regarding their body structures and features of the proboscis. Parasites were found mostly in the lower intestine of fishes. Well developed, strong based proboscis lined by 16-18 hooks in every row along with other body characteristics typical for males and females, indicated towards Pseudorhadinorhynchus salmothymi. This is the first report of P. salmothymi in brown trout of Krka river, the parasite that may severely damage fish intestine and threaten the life of the host.
