Extract

Perch, ruffe, brown trout and ten-spined stickleback from Hanningfield Reservoir, Essex were found to be infected with Bunodera luciopercae in 1968–1969. Only perch were heavily infected. B. luciopercae showed an annual cycle of occurrence and maturation in perch. Mean intensity of infection with B. luciopercae increased to a maximum in perch 15–19.9 cms in length but decreased in larger and older fish. There was a significant positive association between the presence of B. luciopercae and that of the cestode Proteocephalus percae in perch, with both parasites occurring together more often than expected from chance alone.
