Myxosporean parasites of marine fish from the continental shelf off Newfoundland and Labrador
Bile from 2793 marine fish of 28 species from the northwestern Atlantic Ocean was examined for myxosporean parasites. Twenty-two fish species were infected, some with one to three species of the six different genera observed. Six of 7 littoral and all of 16 demersal or benthic species were infected...
