The distribution of Cryptocotyle spp. metacercariae in the skin of caged Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua)

In caged Atlantic cod (>40cm), Cryptocotyle spp. metacereariae were concentrated on the dorsal surface, but relatively scarce on the fins. Behaviour and mechanical forces probably affect this distribution.
