Epibiotic suctorians and enigmatic ecto and endoparasitoid dinoflagellates of euphausiid eggs (Euphausiacea) at Oregon, USA

Jaime Gómez Gutiérrez, So Kawaguchi y Steve Nicol

We discovered euphausiid eggs infested with epibiotic suctorian ciliates (Ephelotidae), with ectoparasitoid blastodinian dinoflagellates (Chytriodinium sp.), and infected with unidentified endoparasitoid syndinian-like dinoflagellates. The discovery of two parasitoid protists suggests a significant source of embryonic mortality and a potential control on euphausiid larval recruitment rates.
