Abstract
The prevalence, abundance and intensity of protistan and metazoan parasites were examined in the labrid fishes Ctenolabrus rupestris, Centrolabrus exoletus, Crenilabrus melops, Labrus bergylta and L. mixtus in west Scotland. The 22 parasite species identified do not appear to be a major threat to farmed Atlantic salmon. Few mortalities of wrasse stocked on salmon farms were due to resident parasites or to transfers from salmon.
