Abstract
The article dwells upon characteristics of the species richness of parasite communities in least cisco Coregonus sardinella Valenciennes in Polar water bodies: Kureyskoye Reservoir, Lake Kutaramakan, Khatanga River. The communities consist of parasite species common in coregonids. The main species in all the parasite communities in least cisco are Dibothriocephalus ditremus and D. dendriticus. Triaenophorus crassus plerocercoids dominate in the regulated water body (Kureyskoye Reservoir). To analyze the species richness of the component communities (s), coefficients of the power-law equation s = a × nb were applied, where a is the expected species richness in the first host individual examined, and b is the rate of species accumulation in parasite component communities (s). The resulting curves of species accumulation give statistical rigor to the assessment of differences and similarities of the species richness of the component communities of parasites in least cisco of various ages and habitats. The species richness of infra- and component parasite communities in least cisco was found to be significantly lower in the lake and the storage reservoir than in riverine habitats (Khatanga River). At the same time, the species accumulation rate for parasite communities in least cisco from Lake Kutaramakan was higher than in the reservoir due to a higher diversity of parasite infracommunities.
