Infracommunities were basically composed of several allogenic parasites with different life histories that converge in the blue whiting through the local food web.
Whiting guides the reader through the complexities of tax policy with aplomb, and his judgements are thought-provoking.
Controlling for sampling effort, most surveys indicate that in other localities the blue whiting harbours richer component communities, richer infracommunities, or both (table 3).
Overall, data indicate that the parasite communities of blue whiting analysed in this study are particularly species-poor (table 3).
Helminth infracommunities of blue whiting in the study area were depauperate and showed little variation among hosts.
Our aim is to provide information on the communities of metazoan endoparasites of blue whiting in this area and to make a geographical comparison with data from other localities.
Fishing for haddock and whiting should also be suspended because too many cod are caught with them.
On research, we need to look seriously at the interaction of cod and other commercial fish species such as haddock and whiting.
