Abstract
Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) fry infected experimentally with the cestode Eubothrium salvelini, as well as noninfected controls, were studied in the laboratory for approximately 1 year through their development to the smolt stage. Fish were weighed and measured at 10-day intervals and tested for stamina in an active capacity tunnel. Parasitism had a deleterious effect on the growth, survival, and swimming performance of the fish.
