Of 164 fish larvae belonging to 11 species sampled from the island of Moorea, French Polynesia, 30% had at least one parasite individual and parasite prevalence ranged between 0 for Chaetodon citrinellus and 80% for Parupeneus barberinus. Parasites were present only in larvae that had fed and were present in the gut but absent from gills, body cavity and muscle. Parasites appeared to be acquired by ingestion of intermediate hosts when the larvae fed on the outer slope, prior to reef colonization.
在从法属波利尼西亚的莫雷阿岛采集的 164 尾隶属于 11 个种的幼鱼中，有 30%至少带有一个寄生虫个体，寄生虫的流行率在黄尾副刺尾鱼（Chaetodon citrinellus）的 0%和波纹唇鱼（Parupeneus barberinus）的 80%之间变化。寄生虫仅存在于已进食的幼鱼的消化道中，而不存在于鱼鳃、体腔和肌肉中。寄生虫似乎是在幼虫在礁坡外部进食、在进行珊瑚礁定居之前，通过吞食中间宿主而获得的。
