Extract

In April 1953, several specimens of the common commercial mullet, Mugil cephalus L., heavily infested with cysts in the body cavity, were received. In May, June and July 1953, several specimens of the estuarine catfish, Netuma australis (Gunther) (Family Ariidae), similarly infected, came to hand. All specimens were taken from the lower reaches of the Brisbane River, Brisbane.
