Three species of parasites emerging on the gills of mulloway, Argyrosomus japonicus (Temminck and Schlegel, 1843), cultured in Australia
Mulloway is an Indo‐West Pacific sciaenid fish with a short history of commercial culture in Australia. In January 2005, a harvest sample of these fish cultured off South Australia was observed macroscopically with large numbers of a blood‐feeding polyopisthocotylean. Epizootics of this parasite may...
