[New species of Microsporidia from the gallbladder of deep-sea fishes]
Abstract
Two new species of myxosporidians with gigantic spores are described from the gall bladder of Alepocephalus australis caught at 1500 m depth. Both species differ in gigantic sizes of spores that apparently is characteristic of myxosporidians of fishes inhabiting such great depths.
