COPEPODI PARASSITI ED ASSOCIATI 

PARASITIC AND ASSOCIATED COPEPODS 

Loredana Mariniello 

I Copepodi parassiti costituiscono un gruppo 

di Crostacei molto numeroso e polimorfo che 

mostra differenti interazioni con l’ospite: queste 

vanno da semplici associazioni periodiche a 

legami stabili e permanenti. In quest’ultimo caso 

si assiste talora ad una fusione metabolica tra 

parassita ed ospite. Ciò porta a considerevoli 

cambiamenti nei cicli di sviluppo e nella struttura 

del corpo rispetto ai Copepodi a vita libera. 

Vivono in ambienti acquatici sia marini sia d’acqua 

dolce, ma sono particolarmente numerosi nei 

mari e negli oceani. La maggioranza delle specie 

marine note è parassita di pesci – tanto Chondrichthyes 

quanto Osteichthyes – ed appartiene 

agli ordini Siphonostomatoida e Poecilostomatoida. 

Un certo numero di specie invade invertebrati 

come Celenterati, Anellidi, Echinodermi, 

Molluschi e Crostacei. Alcune specie, parassite 

di Cetacei, possono raggiungere considerevoli 

dimensioni; sono stati segnalati in letteratura 

esemplari di Pennella balaenopterae lunghi circa 

60 cm (Kabata, 1992). 

Sebbene sia difficile determinarne con precisione 

il numero, i Copepodi parassiti di pesci 

contano circa 1600-1800 specie. In generale si 

possono definire come parassiti della pelle o 

delle branchie dei pesci; pochi vivono da endoparassiti. 

Per questo motivo molte specie sono di 

grande importanza economica a causa delle gravi 

ittiopatologie di cui sono responsabili. I Crostacei 

parassiti di pesci sono stati e sono tuttora 

oggetto di studio da parte di numerosi autori. Per 

quanto concerne le acque italiane, la più completa 

ricerca monografica è quella di A. Brian 

(1906), che annovera nel suo catalogo circa 180 

specie. Dai dati forniti dalla letteratura risulta 

che le specie dei mari italiani sono poco conosciute, 

basti pensare solo che, eccetto i lavori di 

Radujkovic e Raibaut (1987, 1989), per l’Adriatico 

la più importante lista faunistica è stata fornita 

più di un secolo fa (Valle, 1880) e riguarda principalmente 

il settore nord di questo mare. La 

lista, comprende 172 specie parassite di pesci, 

ne include anche alcune segnalate per il Mediterraneo, 

e delle quali mancano registrazioni più 

precise concernenti i nostri mari. Si è ritenuto 

opportuno includerle nell’elenco, considerando le 

difficoltà esistenti nel porre limiti di distribuzione 

a specie strettamente dipendenti dalla biologia dei 

loro ospiti. Per la compilazione della lista sono 

stati essenziali i lavori di Brian (1906), Yamaguti 

(1963) ed in particolare modo di Kabata (1979, 

1992), autore di un’ampia monografia. La classificazione 

segue quella proposta da Kabata (1979) 

per i Copepodi parassiti delle acque britanniche. 

I Copepodi associati in vario grado con gli 

invertebrati marini mostrano un enorme spettro 

The parasitic Copepods constitute a group 

of very numerous and polymorphic Crustaceans 

which show different interactions with hosts. 

These interactions range from simple periodic 

associations to permanent and stable ties. In this 

last situation at times a metabolic fusion between 

the parasite and the host occurs. This causes 

important changes in the life cycles and in the 

body structure compared to free-living Copepods. 

They live in both marine and freshwater aquatic 

environments, but they are particularly numerous 

in the sea and oceans. Most known marine 

species are parasitic of fish – both Chondrichthyes 

and Osteichthyes – and belong to the orders 

Siphonostomatoida and Poecilostomatoida. A 

certain number of species settle in invertebrates 

such as Coelenterates, Anellids, Echinoderms, 

Molluscs and Crustaceans. Some species, 

parasitic of Cetaceans, can reach large sizes; in 

the literature specimens of Pennella balaenopterae 

about 60 cm long (Kabata, 1992) have been 

recorded. 

Although the precise number of Copepods 

is difficult to determine, the parasites of fish 

are about 1600-1800 species. In general, they 

are parasites of the skin or of the gill; a small 

number are endoparasite. For this reason many 

species are of great economic importance because 

they are the cause of serious ichthyopathologies. 

The Crustaceans that are parasitic of fish have 

been and still are the object of study by numerous 

authors. The most comprehensive monographic 

study on Italian waters is by A. Brian (1906), 

who listed in his catalogue about 180 species. It 

emerges from literature data that the species of 

the Italian seas are little known; one need only 

recall that, apart from the papers by Radujkovic 

and Raibaut (1987, 1989), the most important 

list of fauna for the Adriatic sea was prepared 

more than a century ago (Valle, 1880) and mainly 

regards the northern part of this sea. In the list 

there are 172 species parasitic of fish and there 

are also some recorded in the Mediterranean Sea 

for which precise records in our seas are lacking. 

It was thought that they should be included in the 

present list because of the difficulty in deciding 

the distribution limits of species closely dependent 

on the biology of their hosts. Essential to the 

preparation of the list were the works by Brian 

(1906), Yamaguti (1963) and in particular Kabata 

(1979, 1992), who is the author of a comprehensive 

monograph. The classification follows that 

proposed by Kabata (1979) for parasitic Copepods 

in British waters. 

The Copepods associated in different ways 

with marine invertebrates show an extraordinary 

variety of structural diversity. Many species

di diversità strutturale. Molti sembrano indistinguibili 

da quelli a vita libera cosicché solo la 

loro ecologia ed il comportamento rivelano un 

legame obbligatorio con l’ospite. Alcuni sono forniti 

di dischi adesivi o appendici, altri appaiono 

completamente trasformati. Nell’associazione 

copepodi-invertebrati pochi sono gli effetti patogeni 

evidenziati nella maggioranza degli ospiti 

coinvolti. Ciò è in contrasto con gli effetti deleteri 

che alcuni copepodi causano nel parassitare 

i pesci e riflette l’antichità delle simbiosi con gli 

invertebrati. Alcune specie sono poco note e non 

sufficientemente descritte e in alcuni casi l’ospite 

è sconosciuto. È fornita un’indicazione per ogni 

specie parassita riguardo il gruppo tassonomico 

cui appartiene l’ospite. Per la sistematica si fa 

riferimento principalmente alle monografie di 

Gotto (1979, 1993), ai lavori di Monod & Dollfus 

(1932), di Stock (1959, 1960) ed alle pubblicazioni 

più recenti. Poiché mancano dati specifici relativi 

ai mari italiani la lista risulta a volte imprecisa 

ed incompleta. 

Per le varie specie è stata inserita una sigla indicante il 

gruppo di ospiti frequentato (vedi tabella). 

appear to be indistinguishable from those living 

freely so only their ecology and behaviour reveal 

the obligatory link with the host. Some species 

have adhesive discs or appendages, others are 

completely transformed. In the association 

between Copepods and invertebrates there are 

very few pathogenic effects visible on most of 

the hosts involved. This is in contrast with the 

deleterious effects caused by Copepods when 

they are parasitic of fish and this reflects the 

length of the symbiosis with invertebrates. Some 

species are little known and have not been 

sufficiently described, and in some cases the host 

is unknown. The taxonomic group of the host 

has been given for each parasitic species. The 

systematics are largely based on the monographs 

by Gotto (1979, 1993), on the works by Monod 

& Dollfus (1932), Stock (1959, 1960) and on some 

more recent papers. The list is at times imprecise 

and incomplete because of a lack of specific data 

for the Italian seas. 

An abbreviation indicating the taxonomic group of the 

host has been included for each species (see table.)
