Some Metazoan Parasites from Fishes of Middle Georgia

Abstract
In 1972-1975, 226 teleost fishes, representing 23 host species, were taken from the middle Oconee River drainage (15 sites), the upper Ogeechee River drainage (4 sites) and the middle Ocmulgee River drainage (2 sites) [Georgia, USA]. Some 87% (197 specimens) of all fishes were parasitized. Parasites recovered, with some new host records, included 26 spp. of Acanthocephala, Copedoda, Cestoidea, Hirudinea, Nematoda, Trematoda Digenea and Trematoda Monogenea.
