Ascarophisnema is a genus of parasitic nematodes, belonging to the family Cystidicolidae. Species of Ascarophisnema are parasitic as adults in the gastrointestinal tract of fish. [1][2] According to the World Register of Marine Species, the genus currently (2019) includes a single species, Ascarophisnema tridentatum.[2]

Etymology

The generic name consists of two parts, Ascarophis (the name of a similar genus) and nema (= nematode). Ascarophisnema is a neuter gender.[1]

Hosts and localities

Gymnocranius euanus is the host of Ascarophisnema tridentatum

Ascarophisnema tridentatum Moravec & Justine, 2010[1] is a parasite of the stomach of the fish Gymnocranius euanus (Lethrinidae, Perciformes) in the coral reef lagoon of New Caledonia. It has also been recorded from the stomach of the fish Gymnocranius grandoculis in the same locality.[3]

gollark: It's apparently horribly toxic. And very dense.

gollark: > not constantly being on Discord

gollark: I read (well, skim) all messages in all the channels I have access to (except voice chat/bots) because I have waaaay too much free time right now.

gollark: That's more blueish. Turquoise, maybe.

gollark: The color corrected one looks pretty weird, I guess because it looks like you're not in water.
