4 months ago I have confirmed that mamba install parcels in a new, empty environment will install the package, and that the example code at https://docs.oceanparcels.org/en/latest/examples/parcels_tutorial.html can then be run successfully (as far as producing the first plot shown).
This produces a conda environment of size 1.3GB, with ~37k files. However, comparing the size of the Jaspy environment with and without adding parcels shows that it only increases the size by 67MB and ~500 files (on top of the existing ~10GB, ~250k files), as per your observation that many of the dependencies are already present. So this is fine.
It will probably be of order a few months until the next Jaspy release as there has been one recently, so in the meantime you may have to use your own private conda environment. I see that you have submitted a helpdesk ticket, so I will reply to that with some details.
Would you consider adding the Ocean Parcels package to the Jaspy environment? The software allows the tracking of particles in an ocean circulation model. As far as I can tell, many of its dependencies are already present.
