3.2. Parasite abundance correlations

Normality tests indicated that data were not normally distributed, as expected with parasite count data. Only Callorhynchicotyle callorhynchi abundance was significantly correlated to host total length, weight and condition factor, with all variables showing a positive relationship with parasite abundance ( Table 3). Gyrocotyle plana abundance also had a significant, positive relationship with the weight of Callorhinchus capensis but not length or condition factor, and abundance of the remaining three parasites was not significantly correlated with host measurements.
