A survey of the parasites of nonanadromous and anadromous brook charr ( Salvelinus fontinalis ) in the Tabusintac River, New Brunswick, Canada
A parasite survey of 1146 brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) was conducted between January 1981 and December 1982 in the Tabusintac River, New Brunswick, Canada. A total of 36 parasite species were recovered, of which 18 (one Myxosporea, two Monogenea, three Digenea, three Cestoidea, five Nematoda,...
