Digenean, monogenean and cestode infection of inshore fish at the South Orkney Islands
Notothenioid fish of 3 species - 23 immature Notothenia coriiceps, 4 Gobionotothen gibberifrons and 11 Chaenocephalus aceratus, from the coastal zone at the South Orkney Islands were examined to determine their parasite infection. Five digenean species from the intestine, one monogenean species from...
