ABOUT THE FIND OF PARASITES <i>KUDOA NOVA</i> AND <i>KUDOA NILUFERI</i> (MYXOSPOREA: KUDOIDAE) IN THE MUSCLES OF INVASIVE GOBIES <i>TRIDENTIGER TRIGONOCEPHALUS </i>AND <i>GOBIUS CRUENTATUS</i> (ACTINOPTERYGII: GOBIIDAE) IN THE BLACK SEA
Abstract:The data on parasitizing of two species of myxosporeans of the genus Kudoa in the muscles of two species of invading gobies in the Black Sea off the coast of Sevastopol are presented.
