- Abstract
The article presents a study on the new species of the genus Tubulovesicula Yamaguti that was taken from the stomach of Pomadasys olivaceum, a fish which was taken off the Karachi coast in Pakistan. The researchers observed fishes that were bought from West Wharf at the Fish Harbour in Karachi coast, in which two out of the 15 fishes were infected with trematodes. They concluded that the new species is different from the previously described species because it has a uterus that does not reach in ecsoma, a larger ventral sucker and a relatively short tail.
