Nematode parasites in teleosts from 0 to 1540 m depth off the faroe islands (The North Atlantic)

摘要: Abstract In the present study 416 specimens belonging to 43 species of teleost fishes from shallow waters down a depth 1540 m off Faroes were examined for nematode parasites. All in all, about 20 found. Most nematodes are new area and many represent host records. Capillaria gracilis was found gadoids including Molua molua.
