Monogenea

A very large group of trematode or fluke parasites mainly infecting fish with intermediate stages in molluscs and crustacea. Some of these parasites cause problems in fish farming and the downgrading of wild caught fish. They are generally not a major economic problem but do have some fascination for parasitologists interested in ecology, parasite biology and biological diversity
