The stages in the life history of the parasitic copepod Nectobrachia
indivisa Fraser, 1920, have been described.
The adult female lives permanently attached to the gills of the
starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus (Pallas, 1811) Girard, 1854.
The adult male is a dwarf, which usually lives attached to the genital

Cardicola alseae is a blood dwelling trematode found in the
fishes Salmo clarki henshawi and Salmo gairdneri gairdneri. Eggs
which were ovoid in shape and non-operculate left the adult and passed
to the gill capillaries of the secondary lamellae. The miracidium was
ovoid, 0.070 mm. long by 0.052 mm. wide,...
The life cycle of a monogenean, Diclidophora sp., was studied
with special attention to the time required for developmental stages
to occur. Eggs are produced by adult worms at the rate of one every
13.5 minutes and require 32 days to hatch when incubated at 12.5°C
and 30.9‰ salinity. Rate...
The 13 species of shrimps studied for this thesis were collected
off the Oregon coast. The family Oplophoridae is well represented
in this area. Five of the seven known genera were identified.
Hymenodora frontalis, H. glacialis, and H. gracilis were described
and further differentiating characters were illustrated. Other members
of...
Of the 100 specimens of Leptocottus armatus armatus Girard examined at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology at Charleston, Oregon during June, July, and August, 1950, 99% were infected with helminth parasites. There was an 83% infection with Echinorhynchus gadi and a total of 1,258 individuals. There was a 16%...
