- Endohelminths of marine, anadromous, and freshwater three-spined sticklebacks Linnaeus, 1758 (Perciformes: Gasterosteidae) in the White Sea. Logvinenko, Andrey Gordeev, Ilya Gorbach, Vyacheslav Sokolov, Sergey Animals Smegmamorpha Fish Diseases Fresh Water Seawater Helminths Russia Oceans and Seas Helminthiasis, Animal This study investigates the endohelminth parasites of three-spined stickleback, , across marine, anadromous, and freshwater populations in the White Sea (Russia). A total of 241 sticklebacks were collected in Velikaya Salma Strait during 2022-2024. Thirteen helminth species were identified using morphological and molecular methods. Genetic analysis confirmed the presence of , , , , and cf. We identified variability in parasite communities between 2022+2023 and 2024 both within and between marine, anadromous and freshwater host populations. The most striking temporal changes were observed in the parasite communities of the anadromous stickleback population, which is probably due to the different periods of time spent by the fish in fresh water in the years studied. This study highlights differences in infection of marine, anadromous, and freshwater populations of three-spined stickleback, providing insights into host-parasite dynamics across different aquatic environments in the White Sea basin.
