 Wri^it, cause of epidemic at brook-trout 

 hatchery in Wisconsin. Fasten, N. 

 1912.1,.2. 



Fasten has since published in Pubs. 

 Puget Sound Biol. Station, 1918, vol. 2, 

 no. 36, pp. 73-76, pi. 18; and in the 

 American Naturalist, 1921, vol. 55, pp. 

 449-456. 



Fasten, according to Prof. C. B. Wileon, has 

 devised the only known practicable method for 

 the eradication of copepods and this is effective 

 only before or during the early stages of the 

 parasite's attachment. Frequent salt baths 

 consisting of a 2.50 % solution of sodium chlo- 

 ride in which the fry may be left 3 or 4 hours 

 will kill the parasites. Likewise a 1 or 2% solu- 

 tion of potassium chlorate or a 2% solution of 

 magnesium sulphate is equally effective.

Order Isopoda 



Cymothoidce, including the sub-families 

 Cymothoince and Cirolaninoe. Parasitic in 

 mouth and gill cavities and more rarely on 

 the skin or fins of fishes. Less specialized 

 parasites than copepods and capable of 

 freely exchanging hosts.

 captured shark. Day, F. 1884.2. — Taxo-

MOLLIJSCAN PARASITES 



The glochidia or larva of freshwater mus- 

 sels ( TJnionidas) live parasitically within a 

 cyst formed by the epidermis tf the fish 

 parasitized. Such parasitism persists from 

 one to several months before metamorphosis 

 occurs and the young m.ussel begins a free 

 life. 



Various papers on methods of implanta- 

 tion of the glochidium, specific hosts, etc.

PROTOZOAN PARASITES 



All references to Protozoan parasites, 

 generally but not always pathogenic, have 

 for the sake of convenience been placed in 

 the section Pathology of fishes. In that 

 section, see under Diseases caused by 

 Sporozoan parasites ; Diseases of the blood ; 

 and Diseases of the gills and skin. 



WORM PARASITES 



General treatises or compendia of helmin- 

 thology. Hofer, B. 1904.2; •Linstow, O. 

 1878.1. 



An invaluable work for the specialist, 

 with records of occurrence and detailed ref- 

 erences to the literature of each species of 

 trematode, cestode, and roundworm, is the 

 "Index-Catalogue" to which detailed refer- 

 ences are given below under these groups. 

 This work is a continuation of and an index 

 to •Stiles, C. W. & Hassall, A. 1902.1.
