Taxonomy, Prevalence, and Specificity of Cryptobia dahli (Möbius) (Mastigophora: Bodonidae) in Lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus
The protozoan parasite Cryptobia dahli (Mastigophora: Bodonidae) is reported from the stomach of lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus, captured off coastal Newfoundland. The parasite was observed in 104 adult specimens but not in 407 viable eggs, 246 young (< 10 mm) that were reared in the laboratory...
