Table 3 Fish standard length (in mm, SL) in native (A. bjoerkna) and introduced (P. semilunaris and N. melanostomus) intermediate hosts of B. polymorphus, and its prevalence (P), abundance (A) and intensity of infection (I). Two length classes of N. melanostomus were used
From: Non-native gobies facilitate the transmission of Bucephalus polymorphus (Trematoda)
