Occurrence of digenea in fishes of the family Bathydraconidae in the Weddell Sea and other areas of Antarctica
AbstractFour digenean species, Stenakron glacialis, Lepidapedon garrardi, Steringophorus arntzi and Otodistomum cestoides (metacercariae) were recorded in three of four bathydraconid species (59 specimens) examined in the Weddell Sea. The only previously reported species, Elytrophalloides oatesi, wa...
