| dynamics of the interaction between the parasitic isopod, anilocra pomacentri, and the coral reef fish, chromis nitida. | field and laboratory investigations into the effect of the parasitic isopod anilocra pomacentri (cymothoidae) on the population dynamics of the reef fish chromis nitida (pomacentridae) were carried out at heron island, great barrier reef, australia. fish carried a single adult parasite just posterior and dorsal to the eye either to the right or to the left of the midline. the adult parasite was overdispersed among fish on patch reefs (dispersion factor, k = 0.69). sequential field observations o ... | 1994 | 7970888 |
