Abstract

Our knowledge of the trematode parasites on marine animals of Indian
waters is limited. Recently, Silas (1962) reviewed the trematodes parasitic on
scomberoid fishes, but, as yet, nothing is known about parasitic larval trematodes
in the edible oyster. Mass mortality of oysters due to parasitic cercaria
is reported from several other places. Howell (1967) observed that the decline
in abundanc of oysters in New Zealand beds was largely due to epidemical
outbreak of Bucephalus longicornutus.
