Summary

This review examines how parasites can serve as ecological indicators of marine ecosystem health and vertebrate population status, arguing that integrating parasitological data into marine monitoring programs would enhance understanding of ecosystem dynamics and improve conservation and management decision-making.

This chapter underscores the importance of integrating parasitological data into marine monitoring programs to enhance conservation and management efforts. By leveraging parasites as ecological indicators, we can improve our understanding of marine ecosystem dynamics and promote the sustainability of marine vertebrate populations.

Seabirds: studies with parasitofauna and potential indicator for environmental anthropogenic impacts

Seabirds act as environmental sentinels because they accumulate plastic debris, chemical contaminants, and parasites that reflect the health of marine ecosystems. This review calls for seabird monitoring to be integrated with broader marine pollution tracking efforts.

An update and ecological perspective on certain sentinel helminth endoparasites within the Mediterranean Sea

This review examines helminth parasites in the Mediterranean Sea as sentinel organisms for monitoring anthropogenic disturbances including pollution, seawater warming, and invasion by alien species. Trophically transmitted helminths are proposed as bioindicators of ecosystem health given their sensitivity to environmental changes in this biodiversity hotspot.

The Implications of Parasite Roles for the Nutritional Dynamics of Food Webs

This study investigated whether the larvae of aquatic parasites (trematode cercariae) serve as nutritional food sources in aquatic food webs. Understanding the full complexity of aquatic food webs is relevant to assessing how microplastics bioaccumulate and transfer between trophic levels.

Parasites of invasive crustacea: risks and opportunities for control

This review examined parasites of invasive crustacean species and their potential as biological control agents, discussing both risks and opportunities for managing invasive populations. While focused on crustacean parasitology rather than microplastics, the work is relevant to understanding the health of commercially important shellfish species.

Impact of anthropogenous environmental factors on the marine ecosystem of trophically transmitted helminths and hosting seabirds: Focus on North Atlantic, North Sea, Baltic and the Arctic seas

This review examined how human activities -- including fishing, shipping, aquaculture, and pollution -- affect the marine ecology of trophically transmitted helminths and their seabird hosts in the North Atlantic, North Sea, Baltic, and Arctic seas. The authors summarize how anthropogenic pressures alter parasite transmission dynamics in these vulnerable ecosystems.
