Abstract
Perkinsus marinus, a parasite myzozoa native from the Atlantic Ocean, has spread across various bivalve species in the Pacific Ocean. In the Gulf of California, clams likeLarkinia grandis andLeukoma grata have become a secondary fishery, experiencing demand. During annual sampling (August 2017 − July 2018,n = 30/month), the Ray’s fluid thioglycollate medium (RFTM) revealed presumptive hypnospores ofPerkinsus sp. inL. grandis, with a low parasite prevalence (4.16%) and density (≤ 3.14 hypnospores g−1 tissue). From summer 2020 to summer 2021,P. marinus was seasonally identified inL. grata via staining and PCR tests, showing mean prevalence and density of 48.33% and 48 hypnospores g−1 tissue, respectively. The infection level was light in both clams. This parasite’s presence in these new hosts within the southeastern Gulf of California confirms its ability to expand into non-native places, signaling a need for intervention strategies in managing and transporting mollusk species within the region.
