Host–parasite relationships between burbot ( Lota lota ) and adult Salmincola lotae (Copepoda)
The pathology elicited by the parasitic copepod Salmincola lotae and its distribution within the oral cavity of the burbot, Lota lota, is described. Of 50 burbot examined from the Apostle Islands region, Lake Superior, near Bayfield, WI, 18 (36%) were infested with S. lotae. A total of 63 copepods w...
