Abstract

We compiled and harmonised published records of monogeneans from Antarctic and sub-Antarctic fishes, standardising host names, georeferencing localities, deduplicating records, and excluding ambiguous entries (genuslevel hosts or “not specified” hosts) from specificity metrics. We aggregated occurrences from 49 unique localities spanning the Scotia Arc, Antarctic Peninsula, East Antarctica, Ross Sea, and the Kerguelen–Crozet–Heard–Macquarie region. The dataset comprises 31 species (35 including genus-level records), representing 11 genera in 7 families and two subclasses, drawn from 46 publications; species richness within the Subclass Monopisthocotylea was concentrated in Capsalidae (10 species), Gyrodactylidae (9), and Tetraonchoididae (8), with one species each in Mazocraeidae, Hexabothriidae, and Diclidophoridae within Polyopisthocotylea. We identified 29 species-level taxa with unambiguous hosts; of these, 15 (51.7%) were recorded from a single fish host, 6 (20.7%) from two hosts, and 8 (27.6%) from three or more (median = 1; maximum = 12 for Pseudobenedenia nototheniae). The spatial distribution of records was uneven, with the Kerguelen Plateau and the Ross Sea containing the densest clusters. In contrast, many other records occurred as isolated points, limiting the reliability of inferring species ranges. Overall, our analysis provides a curated baseline of diversity, host associations, and regional coverage for Antarctic monogeneans, highlights gaps caused by underspecified hosts and localities, and supplies standardised counts for future taxonomic and ecological work.
