“…While four species (**H. aduncum, H. corrugatum, H. incurvum and H. reliquens) have been reported from Canadian marine fishes, only **H. aduncum is abundant, having been recorded from a wide variety of fish species. In contrast, there is only one report, that of Hogans et al (1983), for each of the other three Hysterothylacium species. All of the specimens were recovered from the stomachs of swordfish, Xiphias gladius, collected from the "northwest Atlantic Ocean".…”

“…It is possible, therefore, that infections with the three species of Hysterothylacium were acquired by swordfish at locations remote from Canadian waters. It is worth noting that Hogans et al (1983) deposited representative specimens of each nematode species (and of the other helminths collected) at a public museum and provided catalogue numbers; details may be found in the original paper. While two other species of Hysterothylacium, H. magnum and H. melanogrammi, have been recorded from Canadian marine fishes the species are of doubtful validity, as discussed below.…”

Keys are provided for the identification of the nematode species known to be parasites of Canadian fishes. The nematodes are described and illustrated, with a note of the site(s) they occupy in named fish host(s) and their geographical distribution. Parasite records are given by author and date, full details of which can be found in a bibliography of over 800 references. Diagnoses and keys for 22 Families, 47 genera and 88 species of nematodes are also given, together with a glossary of terms, a host-parasite list, and indices to both nematode parasites and hosts.

While investigating the nematode parasites of commercial fish caught off the coast of Madeira Island (Atlantic Ocean, Portugal), we collected five specimens of Oncophora melanocephala (Rudolphi, 1819) (Nematoda, Camallanidae) infecting the chub mackerel Scomber japonicus Houttuyn. This is the first record of O. melanocephala from chub mackerel and a new geographic record. Four additional larval specimens with developing buccal capsules were found in the chub mackerel examined.

“…All records but one are from Kyphosus spp. and this record from Xiphias gladius in the NW Atlantic (Hogans et al 1983) is likely to either accidental (Gibson 1996) or erroneous, as only two specimens were recovered from 300 fishes. Remarks.…”
