Some observations on Parabothrium gadi-pollachii (Rudolphi, 1810) and Abothrium gadi van Beneden 1870 (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea) including an account of their mode of attachment and of variation in the two species

Extract

An account is given of the occurrence of Parabothrium gadi-pollachii and Abothrium gadi in some members of the Gadidae caught in the north-eastern Atlantic.

The external features, musculature, excretory, nervous and genital systems of the two species are described in detail.

The adults of both species are characterized by the absence of a typical pseudophyllidean scolex and possess interesting modes of attachment to the intestine and caeca of the host. The variation found in individuals of A. gadi from the cod and haddock is discussed.
