Abstract: The acanthocephalan Echinorhynchus salmonis Müller, 1784 is a common parasite of salmonid fish, but it has rarely been
reported from an intermediate host. Samples of benthic amphipods, Monoporeia affinis (Lindström), were taken from multiple, deep
sites (usually below 70 m) in the Gulf of Bothnia over the course of more than a decade and examined for acanthocephalans. Overall,
only 0.44% of 23 296 amphipods were infected, all with just a single worm. This prevalence is consistent with several previous reports
of acanthocephalans in deep-water, benthic amphipods, but it appears low compared to that often reported for acanthocephalan species
infecting littoral amphipods. Parasite occurrence did not exhibit a clear regional pattern (i.e. northern vs southern sites) nor did it have
any relationship with site depth. At sites sampled over multiple years, parasite abundance was consistently low (mostly <0.01), though
two spikes in abundance (over 0.06) were also observed, indicating that infection can be substantially higher at particular times or in
particular places. The median density of E. salmonis in samples containing the parasite was estimated as 8.4 cystacanths per m2.

Indirect effects of invasive crayfish on native fish parasites
Pulkkinen, Katja; Ruokonen, Timo; Mykrä, Marjut; Tambe, Gordon; Karjalainen, Juha; Hämäläinen, Heikki (Ecological Society of America, 2013)Interactions between invasive and native species are often modified by parasites. One little-studied scenario is that invasive species affect parasite transmission to native hosts by altering the relative abundance of hosts ... -
Seasonal cycle of benthic denitrification and DNRA in the aphotic coastal zone, northern Baltic Sea
Hellemann, D.; Tallberg, P.; Aalto, S.L.; Bartoli, M.; Hietanen,S. (Inter-Research, 2020)Current knowledge on the seasonality of benthic nitrate reduction pathways in the aphotic, density stratified coastal zone of the Baltic Sea is largely based on data from muddy sediments, neglecting the potential contribution ... -
Ultra-conserved elements provide insights to the biogeographic patterns of three benthic macroinvertebrate species in the Baltic Sea
Petersen, H. Cecilie; Knott, K. Emily; Banta, Gary T.; Hansen, Benni W. (Elsevier, 2022)The Baltic Sea, with its steep salinity gradient, high water retention time, and relatively young age, represents a marginal ecosystem between marine and freshwater extremes. Due to differing invasion history and dispersal ... -

Spatial and temporal dynamics of coastal benthic microbial communities along a salinity gradient
Petersen, H. C.; Sapkota., R.; Hiillos, A.-L.; Hansen, B. W.; Banta, G. T.; Knott, K. E. (Inter-Research Science Center, 2023)The Baltic Sea is a unique brackish water ecosystem that has been studied for decades; however, knowledge about the diversity of the benthic communities of bacteria and microbial eukaryotes within this system is sparse. ...
