Publisher's Synopsis
The first three parts in this series dealt with (Part 1, 1984) Monogenea and Turbellaria, (Part 2, 1988) Crustacea, and (Part 3, 1989) Acanthocephala and Cnidaria. Part 4 provides practical keys for identification of the taxa of Trematoda represented in Canadian fishes down to the species level, accompanied by over 130 detailed line drawings of one species in each genus. Detailed generic descriptions and important distinguishing characteristics are included in the keys to the species. The volume also includes an index to parasites, an index of hosts, and a host-digenean parasite list, as well as a list of relevant research published by almost 350 scientists around the world.
