Description (after Bartlett 1996, and Moravec 2013). Ten 87-day-old L3 from experimentally infected guppies Poecilia reticulata were 0.8–2.9 long, and 0.030–0.090 maximum width. Five 152-day-old L3 were 3.1–3.9 (mean 3.5) long, and 0.110–0.120 (0.114) maximum width. Older larvae were 15.0–24.0 long, and 0.9–2.1 wide. Mouth, lips, boring tooth, and excretory pore similar to those of Anisakis simplex L3 (see Fig. 76 View FIGURE 76 A,B,C). Nerve ring 0.150– 0.200 (0.167) from anterior end. Length of preventriculus 0.370–0.415 (0.391), ventriculus 0.025–0.030 (0.029), ventricular appendix 0.320–0.380 (0.359), intestinal caecum 0.170–0.225 (0.191) [ Fig. 76 View FIGURE 76 A], and tail 0.085–0.090 (0.088) [ Fig. 76 View FIGURE 76 B].
