Abstract
American plaice (Hippoglossoides platessoides (Fabricius, 1780)) from six offshore areas of the Labrador Newfoundland region (Hamilton Bank, Funk Island Bank. Flemish Cap, and the northern, southeastern and southwestern slopes of the Grand Bank) were examined for internal parasites. Twenty species of parasites belonging to six major taxonomic groups were found and identified: 4 Protozoa, 2 Cestoidea, 8 Trematoda, 4 Nematoda, 1 Acanthocephala, and 1 Crustacea. Differences in species composition and degree of infestation indicated that the different populations of American plaice were infested with parasite species which are peculiar to their geographic origin.
