On the Occurrence of Young Stages of Caligidæ on Pelagic Young Fish in the Plymouth Area
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 May 2009
Extract
During my researches on the vertical and seasonal distribution of young fishes I soon noticed that occasionally a specimen was found to which a Caligid copepod in an early chalimus stage was attached. As every fish caught was examined under the lens while being measured, I kept a look out for these young stages of the parasites and all occurrences were recorded. The results of this examination are given in Table I which shows also the lengths in millimetres of all the fish thus parasitised found in the collections made during 1925 and 1926 (see 1, 2, 3 and 4).
