Relationships between local variability in parasite communities of the black-spotted croaker (Protonibea diacanthus) (Teleostei: Sciaenidae) and host population structure and seasonality

Abstract We evaluated spatial and temporal variability in parasite communities from the commercially important tropical marine fish the black-spotted croaker (Protonibea diacanthus) (Teleostei: Sciaenidae) to examine its population structure off the coast of the Northern Territory, Australia. Differ...
