Parasites of Fish from the Great Lakes - Great Lakes Fishery ...

The numbers and percentages of autogenic and allogenic helminth species (in parentheses),
respectively, for each fish family are Centrarchidae (24 species, 71%, 10 species, 29%);
Cyprinidae (20 species, 67%, 10 species, 33%); Catostomidae (21 species, 77%, 6 species, 22%);
Percidae (31 species, 72%, 12 species, 28%); and Salmonidae (31 species, 84%, 6 species, 16%).
Jaccard Coefficients of Parasite Communities—Fish Families
The Jaccard coefficients of parasite-community similarity among the five comparison fish
families were low ranging from 0.0869 (Centrarchidae and Catostomidae) to 0.2872 (Percidae
and Centrarchidae) (Table 17). Species in the Percidae shared few parasite species with fish in the
Cyprinidae (0.2403). The species involved in the calculations of Jaccard coefficients of parasitecommunity
similarity for each of the five families were (in parentheses) Centrarchidae
(Ambloplites rupestris, Lepomis cyanellus, L. gibbosus, L. macrochirus, Micropterus dolomieu,
M. salmoides, Pomoxis annularis, P. nigromaculatus); Cyprinidae (Carassius auratus, Couesius
plumbeus, Cyprinus carpio, C. carpio x Carassius auratus, Luxilus cornutus, Margariscus

notatus, P. promelas, Rhinichthys cataractae, R. obtusus, Semotilus atromaculatus);
Catostomidae (Carpiodes cyprinus, Catostomus catostomus, C. commersonii, Moxostoma
macrolepidotum); Percidae (Etheostoma exile, E. nigrum, Perca flavescens, Sander canadensis,
S. vitreus), and Salmonidae (Coregonus alpenae, C. artedi, C. clupeaformis, C. hoyi,
Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, O. kisutch, O. mykiss, O. nerka, Prosopium coulteri, P. cylindraceum,
Salmo trutta, Salvelinus fontinalis, S. namaycush, S. fontinalis x S. namaycush).
