Synopsis

This paper gives results of a survey of the parasites of trout, perch, pike, stickleback and minnow carried out at Loch Leven between April 1967 and March 1972. Twenty-three species of parasites (Protozoa, Cestoda, Trematoda, Nematoda, Acanthocephala and Mollusca) were recorded from trout, 12 from perch, 11 from pike, 12 from sticklebacks and three from minnows. Details of the incidence and intensity of infestation of trout and perch by the parasites, except the Protozoa, are given. The parasites of trout are divided into loch and stream types.
