| Abstract |
Third-stage larval and adult infrapopulations of the whaleworm Anisakis simplex sensu lato (s.l.) (Nematoda: Anisakidae) from their respective fish, cephalopod and cetacean hosts caught or stranded in the Galician coast (north-west Spain), were analysed for heavy metals by atomic absorption spectrometry. Results suggest that the whaleworm may accumulate lead and copper to levels far in excess of their host tissues. |
