Extract

The plerocercoid larvae of Grillotia heptanchi (Vaulle-geard) used in the present study were obtained from the right supra-orbital lateral line canal of a specimen of Merluccius merluccius (L.). Two larvae were located in the canal in the region of the frontal bone and two in the region of the nasal. All were alive and were found to expand and contract slowly on removal. Unfortunately, the exact locality from which the fish came is not known as it was obtained from a fishmonger at Cardiff, but it is fairly certain that it was caught off the west coast of the British Isles.
