Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- A genus of parasitic dinoflagellates that attach to the gills and skin of marine and brackish-water fish. The single species, Amyloodinium ocellatum, causes amyloodiniosis ("marine velvet disease"), one of the most damaging parasitic diseases in marine fish culture, and is one of very few parasites able to infect both teleosts and elasmobranchs.
