Rapid counting of nematoda in salmon by peptic digestion
Joseph A. Stern, Diptiman Chakravarti, Joseph R. Uzmann, M. N. Hesselholt
1958, Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 255
The nematode parasite Anisakis sp. can be recovered, relatively unaltered, from chum salmon musculature by high temperature (52°+2°C.) peptic digestion of the flesh. The procedure, which is presented in detail, appears to be more thorough in isolating the parasite than dissection of the flesh and manual isolation of the worms. In...
