Infection dynamics of Lernaeocera lusci on sand goby Pomatoschistus minutus in the Oosterschelde (The Netherlands)

Male and female sand gobies Pomatoschistus minutus (Pallas) from the Oosterschelde (The Netherlands) were examined for the crustacean mesoparasite Lemaeocera lusci (Bassett-Smith) from April to July 1992.
