The Isopod Parasite Ceratothoa oestroides (Cymothoidae) in European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax): Estimation of Initial Reproductive Maturity and Fecundity
Ceratothoa oestroides (Cymothoidea, Isopoda) is a crustacean parasite that primarily affects European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in Mediterranean aquaculture. The study aimed to estimate first reproductive maturity and fecundity using degree days (DD). Samples were collected from farmed European sea bass in the ce...
