Marine parasites: an Australian perspective.
A review is given of major studies in marine parasitology in Australia. Aspects discussed include: geographical distribution of parasites in Australian coastal waters and their affinities to parasites of other zoogeographical regions; species diversity in Australian coastal surface and deep waters; use of marine parasites for stock discrimination; use of marine parasites as ecological models; ultrastructural and phylogenetic studies of marine parasites; and effects of marine parasites on their hosts.
