Abstract
Twenty-four spp. of digenetic trematodes were collected from 21 spp. of marine fishes. Three trematodes are regarded as new: Fellodistomum brevum (Fellodistomatidae) from Microstomus pacificus (Lockington); Opechona parvasoma (Lepo-creadiidae) from Sebastodes melanops (Girard), Podocotyle sinusacca (Opecoelidae) from Leptocottus armatus Girard. Two new combinations are proposed: Lepidapedon scombri (Opechona scombri Yamaguti) and Neolepidapedon girellae (Opechona girellae Yamaguti). Thirty-eight new host records are indicated for 16 spp. of Digenea; the majority of new hosts were for himiuroids. The geographical distribution of trematodes found in this area shows that strongest links are with the North Atlantic and Japan.Keywords
