Gymnodraco acuticeps

Four examined specimens of the ploughfish harboured 10 helminth species (from 4 to 8 species per host). Nematodes were represented only by Contracaecum sp. found in all host individuals. Diphyllobothrium sp. , bilocular and trilocular metacestodes were also found in all 4 hosts, while a single monolocular metacestode was found in one fish. Trematodes were not abundant (table 2); N. georgiensis and L. macrocotyle were found each in two host specimens, G. bowersi was found in one. Two hosts were infected each with 2 specimens of adult acanthocephalan M. rennicki ; two cystacanths of C. bullosum were found in one fish. Cestodes strongly predominated in the ploughfish comprising 95.9 % of all helminths collected.
