Extract

Various records have, from time to time, been made of parasitic worms from marine fishes around the British Isles. Nicoll (1915) has compiled a very valuable list of the Trematoda, which class has received more attention than have the other parasitic worms of fishes. They have been recorded from Scottish waters by T. Scott (1901), from the Irish Sea by A. Scott (1904), from the Northumberland coast by Lebour (1908) and from Ireland by Bellingham in 1844 and Southern in 1912. The Cestoda have received less attention. Woodland (1927) has recorded some species from Plymouth, and a record of the trematode and cestode parasites of fishes from the Porcupine Bank, Irish Atlantic Slope, and Irish Sea has been made by Rees & Llewellyn (1941). The records of Nematoda and Acanthocephala are very scanty. Baylis & Jones (1933) include them together with trematodes and cestodes in a list of parasitic worms obtained from marine fishes at Plymouth.
