Abstract
    Anguillicola, a parasitic nematode in the swim-bladder of eels (Anguilla anguilla), was introduced into European inland waters probably during the mid 1970's with imported live eels from the Far East and New Zealand. In the Federal Republic of Germany, infestation rates of more than 50% are known from some rivers and lakes in the northern part of the country. Glass-eels seem to be uninfested because the parasite does not propagate in saline waters. Eels from fish farms are infested only when farms are stocked with brown eels obtained from the wild.
