Article Synopsis
- - The study reports the first discovery of the isopod parasite Artystone trysibia on the cichlid fish Caquetaia spectabilis in the eastern Amazon, specifically in Amapá, Brazil.
- - In May 2018, researchers collected C. spectabilis specimens from the lower Jari River, finding that 33.3% were infected with A. trysibia located in the tissue between their pelvic fins.
- - Despite the parasitization, the fish showed no signs of injury or hemorrhage, indicating that the parasite may not have severely impacted the host’s health.
