Experimental Infection of Atlantic Cod with a Larval Marine Nematode from Smelt
Atlantic cod (Gadus callarias) and at least 13 other species of fish in Canadian Atlantic waters are intermediate hosts for a larval nematode (Porrocaecum decipiens). It is pointed out that large cod feed occasionally on infected species of fish and that, as a result, they may become infected. Exper...
