Abstract

The article evaluates the consistency of the species composition and richness of the helminth communities of adult yellowfin snook collected from Coastal Lagoons in Guerrero, Mexico. Monogenea, Digenea, Acanthocephala, and Nematoda are the species of helminth that were identified. A table showing the infection parameters for helminths, with different measurements of prevalence and abundance is presented. Characteristics of the component communities and infracommunities are discussed.
