| microhabitat distribution and coexistence of microcotylidae (monogenea) on the gills of the striped mullet mugil cephalus: chance or competition? | the two monogenean species metamicrocotyla cephalus and microcotyle mugilis have specific microhabitats on the gills of mugil cephalus on which they may or may not coexist. m. cephalus is found in sector 1 of the posterior hemibranch of arch i. m. mugilis is found on the filaments of sector 5 of the posterior hemibranch of arch i. the coexistence of these two monogenean species on the same fish does not induce a change in their respective distribution, except for a marked preference of m. cephal ... | 1998 | 9569098 |
