Abstract
In Quebec, the first larval stages of the spirurid, Metabronema salvelini (Fujita, 1920), parasitic in the speckled trout, Salvelinus fonlinalis (Mitchill), are to be found in nymphs of the mayfly, Hexagenia recurvata, and in those of a species of the genus Polymitarcys. The fourth larval stage develops in the fish host. The third and fourth larval stages are described. The feeding of larvae-harboring nymphs of Hexagenia recurvata to trout resulted in the establishment of infection and development of adult worms in from 60 to 70 days.
