Diversity of Nematodes from the greater forkbeard Phycis blennoides (Teleostei: Gadidae) in the Western Mediterranean Sea
Keywords:
Gadidae, Parasitic worms, Northwest Africa, Mediterranean seaAbstract
The parasitological examination revealed the presence of 236 nematodes parasitizing the digestive tract of 110 greater forkbeard Phycis blennoides from the western Algerian coasts. Eight species belonging to five different families of nematodes were identified: Anisakis simplex, Anisakis physeteris, Hysterothylacium aduncum, Hysterothylacium fabri, Hysterothylacium sp, Ascarophis collaris, Cucullanus cirratus and Capillaria gracilis, these two latest species were recorded for the first time in western Mediterranean and Phycis blennoides represents a new host record.
