FRESHWATER ANIMAL DIVERSITY ASSESSMENT Global diversity of fishlice (Crustacea: Branchiura:
Abstract The Branchiura of freshwater habitats, consisting of the valid genera Argulus, Chonopeltis, Dipteropeltis, and Dolops, presently contains 113 valid species and 12 undescribed species. The entire group is composed of ectoparasitic species that usually live on fishes. The highest diversity of...
