The spreading of Anguillicola crassus in freshwater lakes in Sweden

The first record of Anguillicola crassus in Sweden was made in 1987. Nine years later, the swimbladder parasite was well established not only in thermal discharge areas but in other brackish waters along the coasts as well as in some freshwater lakes. In comparison with certain localities a...
