Temporal variation of the helminth infracommunity structure in the Gafftopsail pompano Trachinotus rhodopus was studied during bi-monthly revisions of samples collected offshore from Puerto Ángel, Oaxaca (Mexican Pacific) in 2018. In total, 110 specimens of T. rhodopus were subjected to a parasitic review. Helminths found were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level (six species and three genera) by means of morphological and molecular data. Attributes of the helminth infracommunities are described through statistical analyses, showing stability in terms of their richness throughout the year. However, variations were found in helminth abundance related to the seasonality of samplings, which may be associated with the life cycles of the parasites, the host species' gregarious behavior, the availability of intermediate hosts, and/or the diet of T. rhodopus.
2018 年，在墨西哥太平洋沿岸的 Puerto Ángel 进行了为期两年的样本采集，研究了加夫托萨普蓬鱼（Trachinotus rhodopus）寄生虫群落结构的时间变化。总共对 110 条 T. rhodopus 标本进行了寄生虫检查。通过形态学和分子数据将发现的寄生虫鉴定到最低可能的分类群（六种物种和三个属）。通过统计分析描述了寄生虫群落的属性，表明其丰富度在全年都保持稳定。然而，在与采样季节性相关的寄生虫丰度方面发现了变化，这可能与寄生虫的生命周期、宿主物种的群居行为、中间宿主的可用性以及/或 T. rhodopus 的饮食有关。
