Abstract

In 1956 and 1957, 135 catfishes of the species Ictalurus punctatus (channel catfish), I. melas (black bullhead), and I. natalis (yellow bullhead) were collected, representing all months except November, December, and January, from 12 ponds, 2 lakes, 3 rivers, and 5 creeks of northeastern Kansas (Jackson, Shawnee, Wabaunsee, Douglas, Franklin, Miami, Linn, and Chase counties). One hundred twenty-four (91.9 per cent) of the fish were parasitized by at least one of the following parasites:
