SARCOTRETES (COPEPODA: PENNELLIDAE) PARASITIZING MYCTOPHID FISHES IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN: NEW INFORMATION FROM SEABIRD DIET
International audience Copepods are common parasites of marine fishes, but little information is available on the biology of species that parasitize mesopelagic fishes in oceanic waters. In this study, we report the finding of large numbers of Sarcotretes spp. (n 5 2,340) in dietary samples of king...
