In this paper, we respond to Gozlan's views of the introduction of freshwater fish, as we
strongly disagree with his view and approach. We demonstrate that many real‐world …

Here we provide a checklist of the crustacean species parasitizing both marine and
freshwater fishes from Brazil. We list a total of 134 species of parasitic crustaceans …

Parasitic castration, the specific blocking of host reproductive output by an individual
parasite, is a host–parasite interaction common to many invertebrates, particularly …

Dating back to the early Cambrian period, crustaceans had ample time to undertake endless
experimentation with form and function. Today, no other group of plants or animals on the …

Fish represent the most frequently used vertebrate class for the investigation of endocrine
disruption (ED) in wildlife. However, field studies are complicated by exposure scenarios …

Parasitism by isopods is a common phenomenon in marine fishes and may induce negative
effects, especially in juvenile stages. The surf-zones of sandy beaches are an important …

Fish are parasitized by several species of crustaceans, including Cymothoidae and
Corallanidae. The aim of this study was to investigate the crustacean parasite fauna in …

Many fields of modern systematic biology are adult-centred. This is unfortunately also the
case for Cymothoidae, an ingroup of parasitic forms of Isopoda, with fishes as hosts …

In this work the length-weight relationship and the condition factor of Astyanax intermedius
parasitised and not by Paracymothoa astyanaxi were analysed in the Grande River. The …

Cyphocharax gilbert shows parasitic castration when infested by the crustacean Riggia
paranensis, being unable to reproduce. Fish were sampled in the middle rio Itabapoana …
