Endohelminths of fishes from the mid-Dalmatian region of the Adriatic Sea: (a review)

Abstract

         Results of studies of helminthofauna from the mid-Dalmatian area in the 1982-1989 period are presented. A total of 34 endohelminth species were recorded: 16 Trematoda Digenea, 5 Cestoda, 11 Nematoda (some determined only up to the level of genus) and 2 Acanthocephala. Several new species were established for the study area and the Adriatic, as well as the new hosts of many endohelminth species. A total of 97 endohelminth species have been established by the earlier studies in this area (since 1938): 62 Trematoda Digenea, 7 Cestoda, 23 Nematoda (some determined only up to the level of genus), 5 Acanthocephala. Trematoda Monogenea have not been studied.
