Abstract
Microscopic examination of kidney tissues from eight Gulf of Maine fish species revealed cysts of the fungus Ichthyophonus hoferi, Plehn and Mulsow, in individuals from three species. Two of these species, the longhorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus octodecemspinosus) and the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), are new hosts for this parasite in Gulf of Maine waters. The other species, the yellowtail flounder (Limanda ferruginea), was previously reported as an Ichthyophonus host.
