Gobionotothen gibberifrons

Five examined species of the humped rockcod harboured 9 helminth species (from 2 to 6 species per host). The nematode D. fraseri was found in all 5 host specimens, while Pseudoterranova sp. and Contracaecum sp. each infected one fish. Similarly, cestode Diphyllobothrium sp. was found in all hosts, while a single trilocular metacestode was in one host. Two host specimens appeared to be infected with the acanthocephalan A. megarhynchus . Corynosoma bullosum was found in one host, C. evae in two hosts, and C. hamanni in three hosts. Nematodes predominated among helminths of humped rockcod, they comprised 54.7 % of all helminths collected. Cestodes and acanthocephalans comprised 23.4 % and 22.0 % of all helminths, correspondingly.
