Figure 8.1. Dominance patterns of metazoan ectoparasites on a tropical fish, Lethrinus
miniatus. Ordinate: number of fish in which a particular parasite species was dominant
by intensity of infection. Note: different species are dominant on different reefs. An
even greater variability is found if dominance is calculated by volume of parasites. From
