“…In Ukraine, fish were taken from two sampling sites on the Danube delta, Lake Kartal (45.287011N, 28.518269E) Table 1) using either a 10-m beach seine (6-mm mesh) or a 0.5-m long dipnet (0.5-cm mesh) in the vegetation zone (depth 1-m). All fish were placed into canisters filled with the aerated local water and immediately transported to the laboratory, where they were examined for parasites within 48 hr of catching (see Kvach, Ondračková, Janáč, & Jurajda, 2016). Both standard (SL) and total (TL) length of each fish was measured before section, following which the fins, skin, gills, eyes, muscles, viscera and internal organs (gut, liver, gall bladder, spleen, swimming bladder, kidneys, uterine bladder, gonads, mesentery and brain) were examined for parasites.…”
