Molecular characterization of Gotocotyla acanthura from Scomberomorus commerson
This study characterizes Gotocotyla acanthura (Monogenea: Thoracocotylidae) parasitizing the gills of Scomberomorus commerson in the Arabian Gulf. Morphological analysis using light and scanning electron microscopy revealed specialized clamp structures with sclerotized elements. Molecular sequencing of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene (partial sequence, 853 bp) provides genetic characterization of this parasite species. Samples were collected from Jubail, Saudi Arabia (27.965 N, 49.6787 E) during 2024, contributing to understanding monogenean biodiversity in the region.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
