Abstract
The present book is an attempt to compile all available information on Amazon fish
parasites. For the sake of comparison, freshwater fìsh parasites from other parts of the
Neotropical Region have been included. Marine species have been omitted, however. Every
effort has been made to produce a work that is as complete as possible. Inevitably, some
references will have been overlooked. Even so, this book should serve as a basic source of
information and stimulate further research in the field.
