Infestation of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis L.) by trematode larvae in various areas of the Murmansk Coast of the Barents Sea
A parasitological examination of Mytilus edulis bivalves in several areas of the Murmansk Coast has been carried out. It has been established that blue mussels on the Murmansk Coast are infected by metacercaria trematodes from the families Echinostomatidae and Gymnophallidae; the former being found...
