Helminth parasites of the common eider duck (Somateria mollisima L.) in Newfoundland and Labrador
A total of 110 common eider ducks from six localities in Newfoundland and Labrador were examined for parasites. Twenty-seven species of parasites were recovered, eight being new host records and eighteen new host records for the common eider in North America. Ninety-five percent of the ducks were in...
