Fig. 1 in Infestation pattern and parasitic castration of the crustacean Riggia paranensis (Crustacea: Cymothoidea) on the fresh water fish Cyphocharax gilbert (Teleostei: Curimatidae)

Fig. 1. Relationship between size of Riggia paranensis and its host Cyphocharax gilbert classified into two (groups 3 and 4) body length indexes [BLI= [((TLRi mm)/(SLCy mm)).100]: total body length of the parasite (TLRi) and standard length of the host (SLCy)]. The total includes all hosts and parasites collected between September 1997 to August 2000. Data are also presented separately for the autumn-winter (March through August) and spring-summer (September through February) periods. All specimens collected in the middle rio Itabapoana, Brazil.
