The ultrastructure of the apical organ of Curini‐Galletti's larva, a new polyclad larval type
Abstract Polycladida are the only free‐living flatworms with a planktonic larval stage in some species. Currently, it is not clear if a larval stage is ancestral in polyclads, and which type of larva that would be. Known polyclad larvae are Müller's larva, Kato's larva and Goette's larva, differing by body shape and the number of lobes and eyes.

Molecular-genetic approaches to species identification of platyhelminthes of the genus Ligophorus (Monogenea) parasitising flathead mullet [PDF]
Mugil cephalus L., 1758 (flathead mullet) is a valuable commercial fish and a promising object of artificial breeding in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and the study of its parasite fauna is important for fishery and mariculture.
