Cause or consequence? Exploring authors' interpretations of correlations between fish body condition and parasite infection

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 658-661, August 2025.
Abstract We reviewed 194 publications that reported relationships between fish body condition indices (BCIs) and parasite infections, and examined the authors' intention behind this cross‐sectional analysis, that is, whether authors interpreted the negative correlations as the negative effects of parasites or as fish with poor BCIs being more ...
