Chionodraco rastrospinosus

Four examined specimens of the ocellated icefish harboured 8 helminth species (from 4 to 7 species per host). Nematodes were represented by larval stages of Pseudoterranova sp. found in two hosts and Contracaecum sp. (in one host), and adults of A. nototheniae (in two hosts). Trematodes were represented by a single specimen of N. georgiensis . Cestodes at the metacestode stage predominated by their diversity (4 species) and occurrence. Bilocular and trilocular metacestodes were found in all hosts examined, Diphyllobothrium sp. was found in 3 hosts, one monolocular metacestode was found in one host. Cestodes comprised 88.5 % of all helminth specimens collected.
