Correlation between biometric measures of the host fish and the parasite Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826)
Ceratothoa oestroides is a cymothoid parasite of cage-cultured sea bass. The adult female and male parasites settle in the buccal cavity of fish. It is a nonspecific host fish parasite with records in six different fish families but no records in wild sea bass. Their life cycle involves only one host. It is considered as one of the most threatening parasitic diseases in Croatia with a high economic impact. A three-year health status monitoring of cultured sea bass was carried out in this study. A total of 1154 parasited sea bass from the same population was examined. Six samplings per year in the first two years were conducted. In the third year, 24 samplings were performed only during winter and summer. Result showed significant very high positive correlation between length and weight of host fish and parasite length during the first year while high positive correlation was found in the second year between the same biometric measures. During the winter period in the third year, the length of female parasites was in a low positive correlation with the length and weight of parasited fish while in the summer period the length of female parasites was in a moderate positive correlation with the length and in a low positive correlation with the weight of host fish.
