Caballeraxine

Caballeraxine is a genus which belongs to the family Microcotylidae and class Monogenea.[1] As all Monogenea, species of Caballeraxine are ectoparasites that affect their host by attaching themselves as larvae on the gills of the fish and grow into adult stage. This larval stage is called oncomiracidium, and is characterized as free swimming and ciliated.

gollark: Except the dictator(s).
gollark: I find it hard to assume that any government actually has a coherent plan in mind, but somehow it seems to me unlikely that this sort of system of "let's monitor everything everyone says and does and have no transparency about it" is actually for anyone else's good.
gollark: i.e. "put security holes in your products but they're not actually allowed to be 'systemic weaknesses' and also you're not allowed to tell anyone".
gollark: No, they passed that stupid "Assistance and Access" law.
gollark: Well, the whole thing of "let's GET RID OF ENCRYPTION we're so smart TERRORISTS" is really a political issue.
