説明

<jats:p>Twenty‐one metazoan parasite species were found in Arctic charr at three coastal sites in west Greenland, including<jats:italic>Neascus</jats:italic>sp. and the nematode<jats:italic>Pseudoterranova decipiens</jats:italic>, new records for Arctic charr. Twelve species are new records for Arctic charr in Greenland. The quantitative composition of the parasite communities varied, but the freshwater species (<jats:italic>Diphyllobothrium ditremwn, Eubothriutn salvelini, Proteocephalus longicollis, Crepidostotnutn farianis</jats:italic>) were usually numerically dominant, even in anadromous fish. The absence from Greenland of Mysidacea, Amphipoda, Ephemeroptera and Odonata excludes parasites requiring such organisms as intermediate hosts, including the cestode<jats:italic>Cyathocephalus truncatus</jats:italic>, nematodes of the genus<jats:italic>Cystidicola</jats:italic>, and freshwater acanthocephalans.</jats:p>
