Grubea [Grubea]

Description
Grubea is recognized by its small, compact body and the presence of a single ovary, unlike many other genera in the family. These parasites are found on the gills of marine fish, where they attach using a specialized structure at their posterior end. They are of interest due to their selectivity for certain host species, often within the Scombridae family.
