Capelin ( Mallotus villosus ) and herring ( Clupea harengus ) as paratenic hosts of Anisakis simplex, a parasite of beluga ( Delphinapterus leucas ) in the St. Lawrence estuary
Capelin (Mallotus villosus) (N = 760) and herring (Clupea harengus) (N = 165) were collected in the St. Lawrence estuary during the summer of 1994 and 1995 to examine the importance of pelagic fish in transmission of Anisakis simplex to cetaceans. Larval A. simplex were removed from fish by means of...
