Monthly occurrence of parasites of the chaetognath Sagitta friderici off Mar del Plata, Argentina
During a 1-year study period between March 2000 and 2001, 195 (6%) out of 3236 Sagitta friderici were found to be parasitized by metacercariae of digenean species and metacestodes. Parasites belonged to Derogenes sp., Ectenurus virgulus, Monascus filiformis, Lepocreadiidae, Parahemiurus merus and te...
