MORPHOMETRICS, OVARY STRUCTURE, and PARASITES of CHIASMODON HARTELI (ACTINOPTERYGII: TRACHINIFORMES: CHIASMODONTIDAE) FROM OFF SOUTH-EASTERN GREENLAND
Background. Chiasmodon harteli Melo, 2009 is a rarely captured deepwater fish. Even though the taxonomy of this genus is fairly well resolved, very little is known about the biology of individual Chiasmodon species. the objective of the presently reported study was to supplement new knowledge on C....
