Abstract:
The present study represents the first molecular–chemical screening by pyrolysis-field ionization mass
spectrometry applied on fish parasites. A total of 71 fishes from Balinese fish markets, 36 Auxis rochei (Risso,
1810) and 35 A. thazard (Lacepède, 1800), were studied for their acanthocephalan parasites. This is the first
record of Rhadinorhynchus zhukovi in Balinese waters, Indonesia, and we describe for the first time A. rochei
and A. thazard as R. zhukovi hosts. Using this method, small scale variations within the chemical compounds of
acanthocephalans could be detected. Using thismethodology it will be possible to generate additional, pollutant
specific information from aquatic habitats in future with the potential of a new bioindicator application for
parasite/host origin and/or environmental pollution.
