Hi all,
I am from Ege University, Turkey and studying on taxonomy and ecology of
Polychaeta distributed along the Turkish coast. My phd thesis is taxonomical
and ecological features of Eunicidae distributed along the Turkish coast of
Levantine Sea and my supervisor is Melih Ertan Çinar. Unfortunately, I read
your mails about Eunice norvegica from the gill of horse mackerel (!), and I
need to write something about it. Yes, I disappointed when I saw this paper.
I agree with all comments, it is really poor and bad work. We don't know
anything about "the paper" in question. How did they determine the parasite
as E. norvegica?? Also we don't know the authors and they didn't ask for
help for identification or confirmation. I wrote something to the editor of
the journal. If he will response to me, I will share with you. I'm very
sorry as a Turkish scientist studying on polychaetes and I hope it will not
be repeated.
Best wishes from Turkey!
