Population biology of Proteocephalus macrocephalus (Creplin) in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus), in two small rivers
Seasonal changes in populations of Proteocephalus macrocephalus (Creplin) were investigated for 17 months in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus), in two rivers in Devon, SW England, but no clear seasonal patterns in prevalence and abundance were apparent. Population levels of the cestode...
