Extract

The survey of Balanus balanoides (L.) for metacercarial cysts of Maritrema arenaria Hadley and Castle, 1940, on the east coast of Northern Ireland by Irwin & Irwin (1980) prompted us to carry out a similar survey in the north-east of England. The site we selected was a rocky shore at Whitburn, Sunderland (Grid Ref. NZ411 613) from which six separate batches of 100 barnacles, B. balanoides, were examined. The results were as in Table 1.
