Distribution of Udonella caligorum Johnston, 1835 (Monogenea: Udonellidae) on Caligus elongatus Nordmann, 1832 (Copepoda: Caligidae)
A large number (2933) of Caligus elongatus (Copepoda: Caligidae) removed from the buccal cavities of cod, Gadus morhua, off the west coast of Scotland, were examined for presence and distribution of Udonella caligorum (Monogenea: Udonellidae). Distribution of worms was not consonant with space avail...
