“…The larvae are enclosed within a fibrous capsule, but on the death of the fish they may escape and migrate through the host tissues. Von Brand (1938) believed that they do not affect fish survival, whereas Paperna (1974) observed changes in infected fish of the genus Huplochromis which he considered to have pronounced effects on the population dynamics of the species. The damage to other species of fish was apparently of minor significance.…”

Infections of brown trout Sulmo truttu L. by larvae of the nematode Eustrongylides sp. were studied over a period of two years in Fernworthy Reservoir, Devon. The parasite, here as clsewhere in Britain, is acquired only in the lake itself and not in the streams feeding it. Both native and introduced brown trout were infected but not rainbow trout which did not survive sufficiently long in the reservoir. The parasite showed a preference for female fish and for fiqh over 20 cm in length. Since these latter were approaching the end of their natural life span in the lake, there was insufficient time for the parasites to accumulate in older fish. No seasonal changes in infection levels or size composition of the parasite population were recorded. The larvae occurred in capsules, the majority of which were attached to the stomach wall. No local pathological effects associated with the capsules were observed and infested fi5h were of similar length. weight and condition to uninfected ones. The absence of harmful effects upon the trout in Fernworthy Reservoir is compared and contrasted with the effects of the parasite in other localities. It is concluded that although EustrongyEides can occasionally cause damage to some species of fish, there is no conclusive evidence that it does so to trout. but its unsightly appearance and harmful effccts on birds renders it an undesirable parasite in any fishery.

“…Even in this case, however, relatively few parasitic helminths have been proven to be aerobic in the adult stage, although evidence has been presented that a number of nematode larvae are aerobic, such as the Eustrongyle ( 6 ) , Ascaris ( 7 ) and Trichinella ( 8 ) larvae. Many adult worms can survive for extended periods of time under anaerobic conditions, and have no apparent requirement for oxygen in their carbohydrate or energy metabolisms.…”
