Thesis Data

1 Data Table

Below is a list of all fish specimens collected as well as their respective dates, locations, and methods of collection. I focused on collecting 20 specimens from each species and derived my species list from a previous paper, (Cook et al. 2015), which sampled a broader range of fish species in the Caribbean. I focused on collecting species that were found to harbor apicomplexan infections in Cook’s study
