A survey of the parasites of greater amberjack S. dumerili and almaco jack or longfin yellowtail S. rivoliana from the Madeira archipelago (including the Madeira and Selvagens Islands) was carried out. This work is the first parasitological study of these 2 species in the Eastern Atlantic. A total of 14 parasite taxa were detected in the 47 fish analysed: Allencotyla mcintoshi, Stephanostomum petimba, Rhadinorhynchus sp. and Caligus aesopus (in both Seriola spp.); Dionchus agassizi, Zeuxapta seriolae, Tormopsolus orientalis, Didymocystis sp. and Anisakis sp. (in S. rivoliana); Tetrochetus coryphaenae, Stephanostomum sp., S. ditrematis, Oncophora melanocephala and Hysterothylacium seriolae (in Seriola dumerili). The monogenean Dionchus agassizi and the nematode O. melanocephala constitute new host records for the genus Seriola, and the species Allencotyla mcintoshi, Z. seriolae, Tormopsolus orientalis, H. seriolae, and C. aesopus are reported in the region of Madeira for the first time. Some of the parasites detected, in particular Z. seriolae and C. aesopus, could constitute a threat to amberjack aquaculture, and measures should be taken to prevent their introduction into sea cages.
