Parasites of burbot, Lota lota (family Gadidae), from the Ford River in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Of 128 burbot, Lota lota, collected from the Ford River in August 1983, 1984, November 1984, and May 1985, 121 were infected with at least one of the following parasites: Azygia sp., Crepidostomum farionis, Posthodiplostomum sp., Cystidicoloides tenuissima, Haplonema hamulatum, Raphidascaris acus, N...
