title: The lifecycle of Dichelyne minutus (Rudolphi, 1819) (Nematoda: Cucullanidae) in the estuarine biocenosis of the Black Sea
abstract: The lifecycle, the host–parasite system, and the ecological features of the nematode Dichelyne minutus (Rudolphi, 1819), which parasitizes invertebrates and fish in the estuarine biocenosis located at the influx of the Chornaya River into the Black Sea (off Sevastopol), have been studied. The host–parasite system of D. minutus includes the polychaete Hediste diversicolor Müller, 1776 (as an obligatory intermediate host) and nine fish species, of which seven are definitive hosts and two are accid
