Mazocraes [Mazocraes]

Description

Mazocraes is a genus within the family Mazocraeidae, comprising species of gill flukes that primarily parasitize marine fish. These flukes are noted for their flattened bodies and ability to attach to the gills of their hosts using a specialized structure known as a haptor. The morphology of their reproductive system, notably the arrangement of testes and the design of their copulatory organ, distinguishes them from other genera within the same family.
