Descripción
Sumario:Dissotichus eleginoides has a discontinuous circumpolar geographic distribution restricted to mountains and platforms, mainly in Subantarctic and Antarctic waters of the southern hemisphere, including the Southeast Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans and in areas surrounding the peninsular platforms of subantarctic islands. The aim of this work was to determine and characterize the gastrointestinal parasitic and microbial fauna of specimens of D. eleginoides captured in waters of the south-central zone of Chile. The magnitude of parasitism in D. eleginoides captured in waters of the south-central zone of Chile is variable, and the parasite richness is different from that reported in specimens from subantarctic environments. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the microbial community associated to intestine showed a high diversity, where Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteriodetes were the dominant phyla. However, both parasitic and microbial structures can vary between fish from different geographic regions
