Role of hyperbenthic crustaceans in the transmission of marine helminth parasites
Invertebrates (n = 34<|>813), collected from nine areas in the Northwest Atlantic, were either dissected or enzymatically digested to determine if the animals harboured helminth infections. Six species of endoparasites were found. Mysids were host to the larval nematodes Pseudoterranova decipi...
