Ecological implications of Echinorhynchus gadi parasitism of Baltic cod (Gadus morhua)
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Of 533 Baltic cod (body length 21–93 cm) 530 were infected with Echinorhynchus gadi at infection intensities from 1 to 490 per host. The heavy infection of large cod (normally not feeding on amphipods) may be explained by a transfer of parasites from prey fishes to the predating large cod.
