Impact Description | Dactylogyrus hemiamphibothrium is a parasite of percids, particularly in the genus Gymnocephalus. Due to host specificity for Eurasian ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua) in its native range, D. hemiamphibothrium is unlikely to exert negative impacts on native fish species in the Great Lakes. |
