Parasites as indicator of fish behaviour
View through CrossRef
In the present study two species of gobies, Pomatoschistus microps and P. minutus from southwest Wales were studied and appearance of some unusual parasite of gobies, were used as an indicator for fish behaviour. The occurrence of pleurocercoids of Ligula intestinalis in the body cavity of these fish and Proteocephalus sp., excysted metacercariae and adult of Timoniella spp., excysted metacercariae of Bucephalusbaeri, the excysted metacercariae of Podocotyle atomon and progenetic adult of Bucephaloides gracilescens in their gut indicate host anadromous, cannibalistic and scavenging behaviour.
