The black goby Gobius niger as a potential paratenic host for the parasitic nematode Anguillicola crassus in a thermal effluent of the Baltic
Species of fish preyed upon by the European eel Anguillicola anguilla were examined for infective larvae of the swimbladder nematode, Anguillicola crassus , in an area of the Baltic receiving thermal discharges from the Oskarshamn nuclear power station in Sweden. We found that the main paratenic hos...
