ABSTRACT

A list of internal parasitic worms occurring in four fish species in environs of the Adelie Land is given. In total, 20 forms are listed, including 14 species occurring in fishes in the adult stage (11 Digenea, 2 Acanthocephala, 1 Nematoda) and six larval forms (3 Cestoda, 1 Acanthocephala, 2 Nematoda). Twelve species occurring as adults and two larval forms are specifically determined. One digenean species is not identified even to a family, one acanthocephalan species and one nematode larval form are determined to the genera, three cestode larval forms are determined only to the higher taxa. All species and larval forms previously recorded in the investigated area are present in the material; eleven ones are reported from environs of the Adelie Land for the first time.
