Twenty-one stations along seven transects were sampled in February, May, August, and November 1977. Sicyonia brevirostris (rock shrimp) were heavily infected (83%)...

Zusammenfassung:Dominant macroinvertebrates of the Georgia Bight were studied to evaluate the incidence of helminth infection and pathologies produced. Twenty-one stations along seven transects were sampled in February, May, August, and November 1977. Sicyonia brevirostris (rock shrimp) were heavily infected (83%) with cestode cysticercoids in the hepatopancreas and nerve tracts. Loligo pealeii (common squid) were lightly infected with cestodes (6%) throughout the year and with trematodes (
