| Summary: | One hundred intestines of Thunnus sp. were examined for the presence of intestinal acanthocephalans. The intestines were flushed longitudinally and scraped gently. Twenty specimen were collected. The acanthocephalans obtained were fixed in formalin, washed, dehydrated, stained with Borax Carmine, cleared and mounted in slides using Canada balsam. Using Yamaguti's (1963) dichotomous key for identification, the acanthocephalans obtained belong to Genus Rhadinorhynchus. |
