A slight decrease of infection level, among the fish with body length ranging from 30 to 89.5 cm, was found when data were compared to a corresponding survey in the 1980s. Due to imprecise species identification of eye flukes based on morphometric analyses we present, as a baseline for further studies, rDNA sequences from a subsample of 19 eye flukes based on sequencing of a part of 18S, ITS-1, 5.8S, ITS-2 and part of 28S. We discuss the use of eye fluke recordings in Baltic cod as an environmental indicator due to the dependence of the parasite\u00b4s life cycle on biotic (occurrence of snail and bird hosts) and abiotic (temperature and salinity) parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ap-2015-0058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,16]],"date-time":"2015-06-16T17:39:53Z","timestamp":1434476393000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Eye fluke infection status in Baltic cod, Gadus morhua, after three decades and their use as ecological indicators"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Foojan","family":"Mehrdana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Moonika H.","family":"Marana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jakob","family":"Skov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qusay Z.M.","family":"Bahlool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diana","family":"Sindberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mai","family":"Mundeling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bettina C.","family":"Overgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Per W.","family":"Kania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kurt","family":"Buchmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","reference":[{"key":"ref431","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2228","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1095-8649.2008.02050.xVoutilainenA.TaskinenJ.2010.Diplostomumspp.cercariaecharr.96,232-235.DOI:http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1645\/GE-2095.1","article-title":"Effects of the eye fluke Diplostomum spathaceum on the energetics and feeding of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus Penetration and migration success of in","volume":"73","author":"Voutilainen","year":"2008","journal-title":"Journal of Fish Biology Arctic Journal of Parasitology"},{"key":"ref01","first-page":"1","article-title":"The Baltic cod","volume":"10","author":"Bagge","year":"1994","journal-title":"Dana"},{"key":"ref191","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2009.08.012","article-title":"Diversity and specificity in Diplostomum spp metacercariae in freshwater fishes revealed by cytochrome c oxidase I and internal transcribed spacer sequences","volume":"40","author":"Locke","year":"2010","journal-title":"International Journal for Parasitology"},{"key":"ref251","first-page":"11","article-title":"Host -
