A sample of 27 queenfish captured near a dredge spoil disposal site in Gladstone Harbour, Queensland, Australia, in January 2012 was anomalous, with a high percentage of fish (66.6%) exhibiting grossly visible skin lesions including foci of erythema and petechial haemorrhages, particularly on the pectoral girdle and ventrolateral surfaces. Microscopically, lesions comprised acute epidermal erosion, ulceration and\/or perivascular dermatitis with dermal oedema and depigmentation. Skin lesions were associated with high prevalence (100%) and intensity (mean = 21.2 copepods fish<jats:sup>-1<\/jats:sup>, range 4-46) of infection by sea lice <jats:italic>Lepeophtheirus spinifer<\/jats:italic>. Only queenfish infected with &gt;10 <jats:italic>L. spinifer<\/jats:italic> presented with skin lesions. This is the first record of <jats:italic>L. spinifer<\/jats:italic> from Australia. In contrast, grossly visible skin lesions were not reported from queenfish (n = 152) sampled from other sites in the Northern Territory and Queensland, where the sampled fish had a much lower prevalence (51.3%) and intensity (mean = 3.54, range 0-26) of copepod (<jats:italic>L. spinifer<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Caligus<\/jats:italic> spp. and <jats:italic>Tuxophorus<\/jats:italic> sp.) infections. Copepods from queenfish in studies undertaken outside Gladstone Harbour exhibited an over-dispersed pattern of infection, with the vast majority (n = 137, or 90.1%) of fish infected with &lt;5 copepods. These data demonstrate that heavy <jats:italic>L. spinifer<\/jats:italic> infections, combined with poor water quality and\/or direct exposure to contaminated dredge spoil and blooms of the cyanobacterium <jats:italic>Lyngbya majuscula<\/jats:italic>, can be associated with cutaneous disease in wild-caught queenfish.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3354\/dao03553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,22]],"date-time":"2020-10-22T10:31:08Z","timestamp":1603362668000},"page":"37-50","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3354\/policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Sea lice Lepeophtheirus spinifer, Tuxophorus sp. and Caligus sp. infections on wild-caught queenfish Scomberoides commersonnianus from northern Australia"],"prefix":"10.3354","volume":"143","author":[{"given":"BK","family":"Diggles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DigsFish Services Pty Ltd, Bribie Island, QLD 4507, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Barnes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Balgowlah, NSW 2093, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Landos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Future Fisheries Veterinary Service Pty Ltd, East Ballina, NSW 2478, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MM","family":"Dennis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, Basseterre, St Kitts, West Indies"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JPJ","family":"O\u2019Carroll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SLR Consulting NZ Ltd, Nelson 7010, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1913","reference":[{"key":"Ref1","unstructured":"Ahern KS, Pointon SM, Ahern CR, Udy JW (2008) Relationships between groundwater composition and stimulation of the cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula.
