Abstract
Nine larval types within the genera Anisakis, Terranova, Thynnascaris and Contracaecum were recovered from south-eastern Queensland marine fishes. Data on (i) incidence, (ii) intensity of infection, (iii) host diet and (iv) habitat for each type suggest Anisakis is an open water type, Contracaecum an inshore, shallow water type and both Terranova and Thynnascaris have intermediate distributions. Host diets indicate Anisakis and Terranova are found in predators of nekton, Contracaecum and Thynnascaris in benthic feeders.
