Abstract
One blue shark (Prionace glauca (L.)), 107 spiny dogfishes (Squalus acanthias L.), and 17 thorny skates (Raja radiata Donovan) were examined for parasites during the period August 1967–August 1968. All fish were obtained in Newfoundland waters. Four species of cestodes were recovered from the blue shark. The spiny dogfishes were infected with 13 species of parasites, and the thorny skates with 11 species. A total of 18 species of parasites were recovered from the spiny dogfishes and thorny skates, namely, two species of Monogenea, four of Digenea, six of Cestoda, four of Nematoda, one of Hirudinea, and one of Copepoda. Several new host records were noted.
