Abstract

Abstract. The African catfish, C. gariepinus (Burchell), a candidate species for aquaculture in southern Africa, is frequently infested by the branchiuran ectoparasite Dolops ranarum. Normal integument, as well as damage caused by this parasite, is described by means of scanning electron microscopy and histology. Wound healing and the attachment and feeding mechanism of the parasite is described.
