Ecology Summary - Sterrhurus musculus

Ecology of Sterrhurus musculus
 
Main Ref. Williams, E.H. Jr. and L. Bunkley-Williams, 1996
Remarks Host Specificity: This fluke apparently has little host preference since it occurs in a great variety of fishes. Its rarity in great barracuda suggests that this is a false host (Ref. 359).
