Abstract

The Plymouth Marine Fauna (Marine Biological Association, 1957) list of monogenean parasites of fishes has been increased from 39 to 58 species and in addition 2 species have been recorded from a cephalopod host. The increase in listed species represents an increased ‘parasitological effort’ rather than an influx of new species into Plymouth waters.
