| Abstract |
Three species of myxosporeans were found in common snook Centropomus undecimalis in Florida. One of the species is described as Myxobolus centropomi n. sp. (trophozoites in gill, pseudobranch, and under scales), and another is described as Ceratomyxa choleospora n. sp. (trophozoites and spores in gallbladder, spores in fecal casts). The third species was Fabespora sp., and its presence represents a new record and geographical location for the genus. |
