Abstract

The parasitic isopod Hemioniscus balani Buchholz is widespread and common on the outer coasts of northern Norway. Infection percentages show a clear vertical gradient, from 0 % in the high intertidal Balanus balanoides belt to a maximum (up to 70-80%) near MLW. Multiple infections are not uncommon: up to four Hemioniscus females have been found in a single host.
