Abstract
The study here reported on was undertaken to gain specific knowledge of parasites of the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), black bullhead, I. melas (Rafinesque), and yellow bullhead, I. natalis (LeSueur), in rivers, creeks lakes, and ponds of northeastern Kansas. The members of the genus Ictalurus were chosen for this study because they are widely distributed in the state and this extensive distribution permits a study of parasitism in various ecological situations in each season of the year. In addition, the channel catfish is sought by fishermen as a game-fish and a knowledge of its parasites could prove valuable to persons engaged in fisheries research.
