Escaped introduced sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax) infected by Sphaerospora testicularis (Myxozoa) reach maturity in coastal habitats off Canary Islands
Abstract Aquaculture activities have introduced European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) along the coasts of some of the Canary Islands. We present the first record of simultaneous male and female gonad maturation of escaped sea bass in the wild, indicating that this species is finding its essenti...
