The Study of The Parasitic Fauna in Sciaenops Ocellatus, Lower Laguna Madre, Texas
Parasitological investigations provide information on ecosystem health because parasite prevalence and abundance are influenced by biotic and abiotic environmental changes. This survey classified the parasitic fauna of red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, in the Lower Laguna Madre, TX. Fish (n = 239) were...
