Features: This book is the first comprehensive monograph on parasitic monogeneans of marine fish in China. It describes 198 species of parasitic monogeneans from marine fish in China (including 30 new species, one new genus, and dozens of new records of species and hosts in China), belonging to 102 genera and 28 families. The general part provides a detailed introduction to the morphology, life cycle, classification system, geographic distribution, and a key to the known families of monogeneans. All species in the book are identified to the species level, and the new species are accompanied by English descriptions. This book can serve as an important reference for the pathogen identification of monogeneans in marine fish aquaculture production, and also provides valuable references for pathogen identification work in fish inspection. It is a fundamental reference book for aquatic workers, biology department students and teachers in universities and colleges, and students majoring in marine aquaculture.
