Lecithochirium sp. Marine Parasites encompass a number of organisms from different taxonomic groups, of great importance for their contribution to the Biodiversity of Ecosystems . Any animal or plant organism harbors at least some type of Parasite . To this can be added its role as a modulator of populations and, therefore, its potential to be used as ecological indicators to determine the health status of ecosystems, the implementation of animal health management plans, etc.
