PARASITE FAUNA OF THE SEA LAMPREY (PETROMYZON MARINUS VON LINNÉ) IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION

View through CrossRef
Seven hundred and fifteen adult sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus von Linné) from four streams tributary to Lake Huron and five offshore samples from the Manitoulin Island – Bruce Peninsula area, were examined for parasites.Dissection and microscopic examination revealed the presence of eight parasite species. Cucullanus stelmioides Vessichelli, 1910 is recorded for the first time both as a parasite of P. marinus and from North American waters. Ergasilus caeruleus Wilson, 1911, Anodontoides ferussacianus Lea. 1834, Diplostomum huronense (La Rue 1927), Plagioporus lepomis Dobrovolny, 1939 are all recorded for the first time as parasites of P. marinus. Echinorhynchus salmonis Müller, 1784, Triaenophorus crassus Forel, 1868, and Proteocephalus sp. are redescribed as parasites of the sea lamprey.
