| description | Detailed parasitologic examinations were made on 53 individuals of the barracouta. The parasitic fauna was found to consist of 8 species belonging to the Monogenea, Cestoda, Trematoda, Nematoda, and Crustacea. Two of those species are harmful for man. The magnitude of infestation and the location of parasites are reported on; the invasion was found to depend, to some extent, on the size of the host. |
