Abstract
    The distribution of the parasite along three axes of sea bass gill structures shows differences among adult and juvenile forms. Along the antero-posterior axis, the adult presence is higher in the two first gill arches while juveniles were distributed on 2nd and 3rd gill arches. The medium-lateral axis shows tendency of adults to be distributed at the extremity of lamellae, while juveniles were located on the internal face of each hemibranchia. Along the dorso-ventral axis, both adults and juveniles were located mainly on the central areas of each hemi-branchia. Differences in distribution have been related to water flow through the gill system and to a loss of the juvenile forms during migration. Indications are also given to minimize the acute impact on the receiving environment, due to chemical antiparasitic treatments.
