Figures, data and software code for Factors determining parasite abundance in three freshwater fish, European perch (Perca fluviatilis), European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus), and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus), in an oligotrophic lake, southern Norway.Article Abstract - Related PublicationTemporal and spatial variations in macroparasite status were investigated in European perch, Perca fluviatilis, European whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, and Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus in Lake Norsjø (Southern Norway), based on gillnet fishing in three locations in the spring, summer, and fall 2018. In addition, length, weight, age, sex, δ13C, and δ15N were determined. Parasite abundance was modelled using negative binomial generalized linear models in relation to fish metrics, season, and sampling location. The most prevalent parasite species were determined by the diet and habitat of the host. European perch was mainly infected by acanthocephalans, European whitefish mainly infected by acanthocephalans and ...
