Table 3 Summary table of the results of the DISTLM analysis on prevalence and mean abundance of larval Anisakis in 18 samples corresponding to 9 fish species from the South-West Atlantic coasts. Results are ordered by the modified Akaike information criterion and only those models with Δi < 6 are included

From: Influence of confluent marine currents in an ecotonal region of the South-West Atlantic on the distribution of larval anisakids (Nematoda: Anisakidae)
