sealworm (pseudoterranova decipiens) infection in common seals (phoca vitulina) and potential intermediate fish hosts from the outer oslofjord. | infection with pseudoterranova decipiens in 45 common seals (phoca vitulina) from the outer oslofjord was investigated. seals were collected before and during the phocine distemper virus epizootic in 1988 when the seal population in the area was reduced from about 350 to 100. in 1989, cod (gadus morhua) and other fish species were sampled for comparison with earlier investigations on prevalence and abundance of p. decipiens infection in fishes from the outer oslofjord. seventy-two per cent of co ... | 1995 | 7601595 |
population dynamics of sealworm, pseudoterranova decipienssensu lato, in sculpins, myoxocephalus scorpius, from two areas in norway between 1990 and 1996. | the abundance of sealworms (pseudoterranova decipienss.l.) in sculpins (myoxocephalus scorpius) was studied at torbjørnskjaer, southeast norway, and vega, northern norway, in samples from 1990 to 1996. the harbour seal ( phoca vitulina) population at torbjørnskjaer declined by 70% during the phocine distemper virus epizootic in 1988, and has increased during the 1990s. the abundance of sealworms in sculpins was relatively stable from 1992 to 1996 and any effect of the reduction in the number of ... | 2003 | 12632153 |
