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.

“…On Sable Island Bank, a comparative quantitative survey of three sympatric pleuronectids with varying degrees of sealworm abundance demonstrated a strong association of sealworm infection with the amount of suprabenthic prey, and to a lesser extent epibenthic prey, in the diet (Martell and McClelland 1995). American plaice had the heaviest infections, followed by yellowtail flounder (Pleuronectes ferrugineus) and lastly, winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus).…”

“…Length of sealworms from naturally infected macroinvertebrates varies from 1.1 to 9.0 mm (McClelland 1990, Marcogliese 1992a, 1993a, 1993b, Marcogliese and Burt 1993, Jackson 1995, Martell and McClelland 1995. McClelland (1995) demonstrated that a minimal size of sealworm larvae must be attained in the invertebrate host to allow successful transmission to fish.…”

Marcogliese Environment Canada, St. Lawrence Centre, 105 McGill Street, 7th Floor, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H2Y 2E7 A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Experimental and natural invertebrate intermediate hosts of sealworm (Pseudoterranova decipiens)as well as transmission experiments of sealworm from invertebrates to fish are reviewed and summarized. Experimental hosts include copepods, mysids, cumaceans, isopods, amphipods, decapods, annelids, and molluscs. Invertebrates collected from eastern Canada between 1989 and 1995 were checked for nematode infections by microscopic examination of dissected animals or enzymatic digestion of bulk samples. Third-stage larval sealworm were found in mysids (Neomysis americana, Mysis stenolepis) from Passamaquoddy Bay, the Bras d'Or Lakes, inshore Cape Breton, Sable Island and Sable Island Bank. Infected amphipods (Amphiporeia virginiana, Americorchestia megalophthalma, Gammarus spp.) were found only on Sable Island. Typical infection rates in macroinvertebrates were 1-4/1000. No sealworm infections were found in approximately 18,000 amphipods examined from Sable Island Bank, the site of the most heavily infected fishes in eastern Canada. In Wallace Lake, a brackish pond on Sable Island, infection rates were much higher in mysids than in amphipods. Estimates of rates of transmission of sealworm from invertebrates to fish were derived from infection levels in Wallace Lake and feeding experiments involving sticklebacks and invertebrate prey. It is concluded that mysids may be much more important than amphipods in transmitting sealworm to fish hosts. Marcogliese, D. J. 2001.

“…A larva adheres to the substrate of seabed by its caudal end Palm 2011, McClelland 2002) and then it is ingested by tiny benthic crustaceans and penetrates into the host's body cavity. Secondarily, after infesting the crustacean, larva gains an ability to infect polychaets, molluscs (Martell andMcClelland 1995, McClelland 2002) or fishes belonging to families: Gadidae, Pleuronectidae, Zoarcide, Clupeidae, Salmonidae and Cottidae (Grabda-Kazubska and Okulewicz 2005) that act as the paratenic hosts. The main vectors of this parasite in the southern Baltic Sea area may be cod (Gadus morhua) (Myjak et al 1994, Sobecka et al 2011 and -less likely -herring (Clupea harengus) (Szostakowska et al 2005).…”

In the present study 5 grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), 3 common seals (Phoca vitulina) and 1 ringed seal (Pusa hispida) bycaught or stranded on the Polish Baltic Sea coast in years 2000-2006 were investigated for the infestation of parasitic anisakid nematodes. 749 of anisakids were found. The most common were: Contracaecum osculatum (59.3%) and Pseudoterranova decipiens (31.0%). There were also small numbers of Anisakis simplex (0.8%). After performing RFLP three sibling species were found. C. osculatum was identified as C. osculatum C, P decipiens was identified as P. decipiens sensu stricto and A. simplex -A. simplex sensu stricto. Nematodes found in seals were mostly in L4 and adult life stage -both of them were equal with some minor variations among the specimens. Sex ratio was also equal, but there was slight excess of males in some cases. There was a minority of L3 larvae belonging to A. simplex species (0.8%).
