Abstract
Infected swimbladders with presumptive larvae of the nematode Anguillicola crassus were removed from freshwater smelt ( Osmerus eperlanus L.) and ruffe ( Gymnocephalus cernuus L.) and were fed to European eels Anguilla anguilla L. to test whether the larvae can infect eels via this route. The nematode larvae migrated to the swimbladder of eels and developed into adult A. crassus. It was concluded that smelt and ruffe can transmit A. crassus to European eels.
