Incidence of a Parasitic Ascarid, Porrocaecum decipiens , in the Common Porpoise, Phocoena phocoena , from the Lower Bay of Fundy
Examinations were made of nematodes from the stomachs of 150 common porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) collected from 1952 to 1956 from the lower Bay of Fundy, one common porpoise from St. Ann's Bay, Nova Scotia, and one white whale, (Delphinapterus leucas) from Mace's Bay, New Brunswick.One ad...
