Abstract

with a ventral holdfast 3.0 to 5.6 mm long had eggs 62 to 96 ,um long by 33 to 39 /m wide. Testicular length in those specimens was 53 to 1,024 /um. Because mature individuals infect the black drum, that fish can be considered a true definitive host as well as the only known vertebrate host. a ventral holdfast 3.0 to 5.6 m long had 62 to 96 ,um long by 33 to 39 /m wide. We thank Drs. J. Leon McGraw, Jr. and Ralph Lichtenfels for loaning us specimens. This study was conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service, under PL 88-309, Project No. 2-382-R.
