Abstract

Parasites are a component of biodiversity, which are also affected by changes in the environment or their hosts. Therefore, it is considered that Acanthobothrium spp. can be a bioindicator of some threats in the coasts of Mexico. These cestodes have indirect life cycles, and are intestinal parasites of elasmobranchs. Data from 21 years of collection of Acanthobothrium spp. parasites of some batoid species in different localities and dates along the coast of Mexico were analyzed. Prevalence was calculated, and a principal coordinates analysis was performed, considering a non-linear multimetric distance (seasonality of collections (rainy and dry seasons), localities and years of collections) to evaluate a probable correlation between the absence or presence of Acanthobothrium spp. During the period evaluated, there was a decrease in the biodiversity of Acanthobothrium in the Gulf of Mexico, with low values of prevalence of the populations of these parasites. This is interpreted as an effect of the sensitivity of Acanthobothrium spp. to environmental changes. The life cycles of Acanthobothrium spp. can be affected directly or indirectly by contaminants, either in free-living larvae, or in parasitic larvae and/or adults of intermediate or definitive hosts. Therefore, it is concluded that increased pollution in the Gulf of Mexico affects the prevalence values of Acanthobothrium spp. This highlights the importance of the use of parasites as bioindicators of environmental quality.
