Ecology Summary - Dinurus scombri
SeaLifeBase
Ecology of Dinurus scombri
 
Main Ref. Williams, E.H. Jr. and L. Bunkley-Williams, 1996
Remarks Host Specificity: Specific to scombrids, but insufficient information is available to assess its individual host preferences. Our records in Atlantic sailfish and longbill spearfish may represent false hosts resulting from these predators eating scombrids. These 2 billfish species are also new hosts for this parasite (Ref. 359).
