Occurrence of the parasite Glugea hertwigi in young-of-the-year smelt in Lake Tuusulanjärvi
Abstract
Young-of-the-year smelt Osmerus eperlanus in Lake Tuusulanjärvi were examined for Glugea hertwigi cysts. Cysts were visible on smelt in the beginning of August and showed a peak at the end of August. Glugea hertwigi may cause mortality among the most heavily infected young-of-the-year smelts.
