Parasite body volume and infracommunity patterns in the southern pomfret Brama australis (Pisces: Bramidae)

Parasite body volume and infracommunity patterns in the southern pomfret Brama australis (Pisces: Bramidae)

The patterns of infracommunity descriptors (diversity, dominance, abundance) are compared when calculated with the number and body volume of the parasites in a sample of 26 southern pomfrets Brama australis collected in the area off Talcahuano, Chile. No numerical infracommunity descriptor was corre...
