Resumen

Un ejemplar macho adulto de barbada de las Azores fue capturado con trasmallo alrededor de 250 m de profundidad cerca de la costa de Arbatax (Cerdeña, Italia) a principios de marzo de 2007. Esta nueva cita confirma que G. granti presenta un amplio rango de distribución batimétrica. El examen macroscópico y microscópico de las gónadas mostró un testículo en estadio de postpuesta con una actividad espermatogénica reducida. En su contenido estomacal se encontraron varios restos de Natantia (Crustacea: Decapoda). Diversos estadios de desarrollo de 91 especímenes de parásitos pertenecientes a Arthropoda (Gnathiidae) y Nematoda (Anisakidae, Cystidicolidae y Philometridae) fueron encontrados en su boca y branquias, y cavidad corporal, respectivamente. Esporas de myxozoos fueron además encontradas en la vesícula biliar. Se encontraron por primera vez en el Mediterráneo ejemplares macho y hembra del nematodo Ichthyofilaria sp., y además el rarísimo macho de este género se cita por segunda vez en el mundo. Los resultados parasitológicos mostraron que este migrador atlántico probablemente entró en el Mediterráneo como adulto, sugierendo que especies no indígenas pueden entrar con sus parásitos naturales y/o adquirir parásitos nativos en nuevos hábitats.
