Abstract

The fish rotan is native to the Amur River basin and some other basins in the Far East of Eurasia. This species has been widely distributed in the water bodies of Europe and Siberia. There are only fragmentary data about the parasite fauna of rotan in Europe. A parasitological study of rotans from 13 water bodies of European Russia was performed. Thirty-one parasite species and unidentified forms were recorded. Twenty species and forms were first recorded in rotan on the territory of Europe. Some specific parasites of rotan (Gyrodactylus perccotti and Nippotaenia mogurndae) had been transmitted to the Volga River basin together with their definitive host (rotan). Descriptions of G. perccotti, the merocercoid of Ophiotaenia europaea, the metacercaria of Opisthioglyphe ranae, and several unidentified forms of parasites are presented. The taxonomic diversity of the registered parasites confirms that the introduced rotan is included well into the native parasite systems in European freshwater water bodies.
