Abstract

Six metacercariae were found from the gill filaments of Conger myriaster purchased at Mokpo City in Korea on 7 September 1996. Based on the morphology of the excysted specimen, we identified them as metacercariae of Heterophyopsis continua. C. myriaster is a new intermediate host of H. continua in the literature.
