Between 1990 and 1992 deep-snouted pipefish Syngnathus typhle and black goby Gobius niger were found to be infested by Stage 3 and 4 larvae and preadults of the swim bladder nematode Anguillicola crassus in Wismar Bay (southwestern Baltic Sea) at a frequency of 9.6 and 0.7%. respectively. The high prevalence (59.4%) of nematodes in European eels AnguiUa anguilla in the Baltic may therefore be attributable not only to freshwater habitation of some eels, but also to the possibility that they feed on affected copepods and small fishes in the brackish waters of the Baltic Sea.
