Family TRICHOSOMOIDIDAE Hall, 1916

Preamble: Conboy & Speare (2002) speculated that Huffmanela - type eggs found in the skin of various species of Sebastes from coastal British Columbia might represent a new species. Indeed, Moravec, Conboy & Speare (2005) subsequently re-examined histologically the same rockfish material and recovered two complete males, three complete females and worm fragments representing a new species, namely, H. canadensis . The nematode has commercial significance because infected rockfish with so-called “black mould” in the skin are downgraded in the market.
