摘要

Parasites can kill hosts directly, but also indirectly, by enhancing susceptibility to environmental factors and biotic interactions. In the United States South Atlantic Bight region of the northwest Atlantic Ocean, white shrimp (Penaeus setiferus) support a substantial commercial fishery and are also valuable prey for many marine and estuarine species. Since the late 1990s, a condition known as black gill has been observed in penaeid shrimp in the South Atlantic Bight. In this region, black gill has been linked to an apostome ciliate that elicits an innate immune response in shrimp, manifested through the melanization of gill tissues, which impedes respiratory functions and hemolymph ion regulation. The objective of this study was to determine if black gill subjects shrimp to higher rates of predation by red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus), spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus), and blue crab (Callinectes sapidus). A series of simultaneous prey choice mesocosm experiments was conducted, during which single-species predators were able to consume shrimp that were both symptomatic and asymptomatic of black gill over a four-hour period. Predator species were 1.4 to 3.0 times more likely to consume symptomatic shrimp than asymptomatic shrimp. The hinderance of shrimp physiology and escape responses due to gill melanization likely increases the vulnerability of shrimp to predation. This study emphasizes that mortality from parasitic infections is not always direct and that black gill may have a significant impact on penaeid shrimp through secondary, or indirect, mortality.
