Fig. 2 in Temporal stability of parasite distribution and genetic variability values of Contracaecum osculatum sp. D and C. osculatum sp. E (Nematoda: Anisakidae) from fish of the Ross Sea (Antarctica)

Fig. 2. Schematic distribution of the fish species examined in the present study for larval of C. osculatum sp. D and C. osculatum sp. E, along the continental shelf of the Ross Sea coastal ecosystem. Arrows indicating preferred preys and the diet preference for each fish species are reported according to the literature (La Mesa et al., 2004). The represented pelagic organisms comprise species of euphausiids and fish juveniles, benthic and epibenthic organisms are polychaetes, amphipods, decapods and gastropods. A pie chart with the relative proportions of C. osculatum sp. D and C. osculatum sp. E is given for each fish species. Squares and circles represent the hypothetical distribution of C. osculatum sp. D and C. osculatum sp. E larvae in their intermediate hosts.
