Parasites as biological tags of marine, freshwater and anadromous fishes in North America from the tropics to the Arctic
SUMMARY Parasites have been considered as natural biological tags of marine fish populations in North America for almost 75 years. In the Northwest Atlantic, the most studied species include Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ), Atlantic herring ( Clupea harengus ) and the redfishes ( Sebastes spp.). In th...
