Just how serious this parasite is to the fish is not definitely known." (p.16) Regarding the nematode Contracoecum, "Chinook salmon ... from the Siletz River some three miles from the mouth were quite heavily parasitized ... This parasite lives in the stomach and intestines of fish-eating birds, fish-eating mammals, and fish. To what extent this parasite damages the salmon is not definitely known." |
