A survey was made of the parasites of freshwater game fishes in Insular Newfoundland. A total of 304 fish from five species (Saluelinus Jontinalis, Salmo salar (grilse, landlocked, parr, smolt), Salmo gairdneri, Salmo irutto, and Coregonus clupeaformis) was examined f rom 43 sampling stations covering the main watersheds of the island. Twenty-six parasitic species are recorded. Two new species, Phyllode istomum limnosa and Salmincola ersanguinata, are described. Descriptions are given and the systematic positions of the following discussed: Trichophrya piscium, Crepidostomum farionis, Apohallus brevis (metacercariae), Dibothriocephal,us sp., Echinorhynchus I'aterolis, Metobronema salvelini, Philonema agubernaculum, Salmincola salmonea, and Argulus canadensis.A host-parasite list with percentage infections is given for all species of fish and a table showing the distribution between river and lake fish over the island as a whole is given for the commoner parasites oI S. fontinalis. Distribution and host specificity are discussed.
