Project A5 - Analysis of parasite communities of various shark species

This data describes various acanthocephalan, nematode and helminth parasites identified on elasmobranchs caught between 2015 and 2018 at a number of sites around Australian. All parasite and host data is contained with tables in publications linked to this record (see Supplementary Information and Online Resources section).

Statement
Various elasmobranch species (Chondrichthyes) were surveyed between 2015 and 2018 from 10 localities around Australia. Sharks were collected from a combination of bather-protection gill-net catches and commercial fisheries bycatch and made available for parasite analysis. Some sharks were frozen whole, defrosted and processed, with the digestive system (stomach and spiral valve) removed, bagged and refrozen. Other sharks were processed at the time of dissection. Disection involved opening the stomach and spiral vavle longitudinally to examine for dietary components and parasites. Washings were searched using a dissecting microscope. Collected parasites were preserved in 70% ethanol and examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. Several new species were described and other key species redescribed. See publications associated with this record for full methodological detail.
