Popis: | Studies on the morphology of the egg sacs of the copepod parasite Haemobaphes intermedius Kabata, 1967 indicate that a distinctive change in appearance occurs once the egg sac is mature and ready to hatch. Highest rates of infection by copepodids occur where adults are found, suggesting a one-host life cycle. Clinocottus acuticeps is recorded as a new host for H. intermedius, as well as for Holobomolochus sp. and Clavella sp. The ecology of the tide pool is discussed in relation to intertidal fish parasites. |
