Distribution patterns and interactions of cestodes in the spiral intestine of the narrownose smooth-hound shark, Mustelus schmitti Springer, 1939 (Chondrichthyes, Carcharhiniformes)

The distribution patterns and the cestode species interactions within the spiral intestine of 20 specimens of Mustelus schmitti from coastal waters off Mar del Plata, Argentina were studied. Six cestode species were found: Tetraphyllideans Calliobothrium barbarae, C. australis, C. lunae and Orygmato...
