The prevalence of Diphyllobothrium ditremum plerocercoids in whitefish Coregonus lavaretus ranged between 70 and 100% in Lake Kilpisjärvi and in three other lakes in Northern Lapland, Finland. The mean abundance in Lake Kilpisjärvi (age groups 1+‐10+ years), ranged between 103·5± 71·3 in 1992–1993 t...
