Three Co~osoma species, C. scmerme, C.smrmosvm and C.magdalenr. were found ia young grey seals from the sot&em part of the Golf of Both&, Baltic sea. Suprisingly, the parasite population of 60”~ young seals was domiruted by C. magdolenr, while in others C. smmmsum predomi”ated All con-t i&ctio”s of c. selnerme. Oar int&tedseaIsalsoharboo& question is, how do these dlssimilsr pattans of se8regation develop in different seal specimens. We would expect that C.snvmosum and C
magdolenr arc also ~egngakd in the pmtenic host (a fish), becaw the trasmhion from the amphipodMonoporeiaa#nis ( htmncdhtc host) to seals ham only via a paratenic host. We have smdied this in sculpin from the Both&m Bay, notlheasem Gulf ofBotlmia We also studied the stmctue of Corynosomo populatio”s in the hosts. The remIt wore also compared with a” identical st”dy oarried out 17 years previously i” the ss”K srca. ReaIts: I” the most comma parptenic host for Covnosomu Mvorhcephalus qua&icornrs, C. xmermc ittfectio” in 1996-1997 was * the same love1 as 17 years earlier (82% and 83Y$ respeniwly). In the later period the infection of C. smrmosum-like species (C magdaleni and C.stnrmosum) was 13% whenas17yearscarlierit~been21%lothelattercase,tbctwospcdes were not separated. Amang the C. shrmosum-like specimtns identifcd in 1996-1997, 71% were C. magdaleni. Ihe local segregation behveen C. ~trumowm and Cmagdaieni was indicated by the lack of C. sfnmwsum in sctdpincsaghtfromtbe coastalarea(depthllm).Inthedeqxrarea(de@ 451”) both species were found, but not in the same fish spximeos. C. semerme populations exhibit a ntsIe:femaIe sex ratio of 1:1 in the summa months, wheress in October the munber of males wss higher (1:0.77X Also, the ovaries of C. sernernre females had io most case5 disintegrated into ovarian bsus (80%). co”clulo”: The prese”t resolts give an i”dicati0” of hut do not confirm the segregario” of C. magdalem and C. shwmoswn in their
