Among the most recent discoveries of
scientific research is that OF the pre-
sence of parasites in fish. OF these
tiny eel-like creatures ten kinds are re.
cognlzed In the fish of the Medlter-
ranean Sea, the Atlantic and Indian
Oceans. They are generally found In
some hollow part of the fsh's body,
the cavities of the star-fsh's body, the
cavities of tie star-tsh's respiratory
organs beingl a very favorIte abode.
Sometimes, however, they attach them
selves to a part of the fish where life Is
not so easy a matter for them; for it.
stance, they have been found in a pearl
oyster, buried IN a curl OF the shell.
These parasites do not endanger the
life OF the fish on which they live, as
they feed on the microscopic organisms
which are washed into the cavities Of
the fish by the notwithstanding their
messmates, as Van Beneden says.
