Creamy white, yellow, brown, red, or reddish brown in colour, L3 lie coiled in capsules of irregular shape. About 1.5 to 60 long. Cuticular striations transverse and irregular. Anterior and posterior ends of an L3 shown diagrammatically in Fig.74 A,B. Mouth, lips, boring tooth, and excretory pore similar to those of Anisakis simplex L3 (see Fig. 73 A,B,C). L3 from cod musculature 15–60 long, from cod viscera, mesenteries and peritoneum 8–42 long. The largest of five relatively small L3 found free in a flatfish stomach (from Canadian waters) was 8.078 long; length of preventriculus, ventriculus, intestinal caecum and tail 0.871, 0.533, 0.194, and 0.105 respectively. The smallest of these L3 was 1.592 long; corresponding measurements 0.290, 0.158, not stated, and 0.066. Mean length of ten L3 from barracouta (from New Zealand waters) was 29.8 (range 25.0–36.0); corresponding measurements 2.03 (1.54– 2.65), 0.90 (0.71–1.14), 1.11 (0.87–1.29), and 0.12 (0.10–0.13).
