Helminths of fishes from the St. Marys River, Michigan

Abstract

Three hundred fifty-four fishes of 30 species collected from the St. Marys River, Michigan, were examined for helminths. Thirty-two species (8 Digenea, 11 Cestoda, 8 Nematoda, 5 Acanthocephala) were recovered from the digestive tracts of 233 fishes. The prevalence and host distribution of these helminths and information on larval helminths are presented.
