| Remarks | Feeding behaviours were foraging, shoveling and surface feeding. C. agboyiensis constitutes a new host for these helminth parasites, e.g., metacercaria of Euclinostomum clarias, Procamallanus laevichonchus, a larval spiruroid (f. Physalopteridae) and an unidentified acanthocephalan (Ref. 31579). |
