Wrong taxonomy: ciliate genus Gonostomum classified as fish

The ciliate genus Gonostomum Sterki, 1878 (GBIF species 4919118) is currently placed under the fish family Gonostomatidae. Perhaps it has been confused with the genus Gonostoma?

The GBIF species page states that the source dataset is WoRMS, but the WoRMS record classifies it as a ciliate: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=415434

For a published source on Gonostomum Sterki, 1878, see page 76 in Aescht 2001: https://www.zobodat.at/pdf/DENISIA_0001_0001-0350.pdf

This taxon (GBIF 4919118) occurs in 16 occurrence datasets, mostly relating to microbial communities and soil microbiomes, so the misclassification does have a practical impact.
