A review of parasite studies of commercially important marine fishes in sub-Saharan Africa

摘要: Scattered records of parasitic species infecting commercially important marine fishes in sub-Saharan Africa are known from just a few countries where concerted efforts have been made by local parasitologists (e.g. Senegal, Nigeria, South Africa). Most these consist taxonomic or general surveys parasite faunas associated with hosts, which may not commercial value. Little to no multi-disciplinary research is conducted most parts and hence parasitological data commonly used advise fisheries management procedures. This review summarizes current knowledge on all fish Africa.
