SEM studies onBucephalopsis karvei Bhalerao, 1937, an intestinal parasite of the fish,Xenentodon cancila (Ham.) (original) (raw)

Abstract

sem studies of surface topography of_Bucephalopsis karvei_ Bhalerao, 1937 shows tegumentary papillae, interlocking network of ridges and closely packed, distinct, separate knobs. Body pores_viz_, mouth with denticles, longitudinal and radiating muscles around the genital and excretory pore have been observed.
