Three-hundred and thirty-two fish of eight species (5 Salmo salar, 68 Salvelinus fontinalis, 32 S. namaycush, 102 Coregonus clupeaformis, 1 Prosopium cylindraceum, 107 Esox lucius, 14 Catostomus catostomus, 3 Couesiusplumbeus) from the Smallwood Reservoir, Labrador, Canada, were examined for metazoan parasites, using conventional parasitological techniques.Fifteen genera of parasites were recovered (two of Monogenea, two of Digenea, four of Cestoda, three of Nematoda, two of Acanthocephala and two of Copepoda), these including seven new host records.Significant differences were noted in the prevalence of the various parasites which were common to the different species of fish examined. No differences were recorded in the parasite burden of male and female fish. There was no correlation between the number of parasite species per infected fish and host age except in the case of Salvelinus namaycush. Food items of the fish examined were also noted.
