Distribution of Na+/K+-ATPase-immunoreactive ionocytes varies between two superorders of ray-finned fish: Ostariophysi and Acanthopterygii
Ray-finned fishes of the superorder Ostariophysi are primarily freshwater (FW), and normally stenohaline. Differently, fishes of the superorder...

Integrated characterisation of nine species of the Schistorchiinae (Trematoda: Apocreadiidae) from Indo-Pacific fishes: two new species, a new genus, and a resurrected but ‘cryptic’ genus
We report nine species of the Schistorchiinae Yamaguti, 1942 (Apocreadiidae Skrjabin, 1942) from Indo-Pacific marine fishes. Molecular data (ITS2 and...
