Abstract
During my researches on the vertical and seasonal distribution of young fishes I soon noticed that occasionally a specimen was found to which a Caligid copepod in an early chalimus stage was attached. As every fish caught was examined under the lens while being measured, I kept a look out for these young stages of the parasites and all occurrences were recorded. The results of this examination are given in Table I which shows also the lengths in millimetres of all the fish thus parasitised found in the collections made during 1925 and 1926 (see 1, 2, 3 and 4).Keywords
