摘要

Abstract

This paper deals with the proportional distribution

niche breadth and niche overlap of two metazoan parasites (copepods species

Ergasilus anchoratus Markewitsch

1946 andPseudergasilus parasiluri Yamaguti

1936) and monogeneans (in the genusSilurodiscoides Gussev

1976) found on gills of the fish

Silurus asotus L. from Jiangkou Reservoir in Jiangxi Province

China.E. anchoratus was the common and dominant metazoan parasite on gills of the fish in this locality as indicated by the higher infection levels

and distributed almost evenly on gill arches without any observed gill-arch preference

as shown by the wide proportional distribution and broad niche breadth.P. parasiluri and monogeneans inSilurodiscoides were found also without any significant gill-arch preference although they had a rather narrow niche breadth. The observed significant overlap betweenP. parasiluri andSilurodiscoides spp. may be simply due to the lower infection levels of the parasites. The observed pattern of unrestricted distributions of the parasitic copepods on gills of the fish may be accounted for

at least in part

by the moving ability of the copepods

and may also indicate that the parasite does not exhibit any feature of gill-arch preference. However

further experimental research is needed to verify the microhabitat distribution of the parasites.
