Hemioniscus balani Buchholz in northern Norway (Isopoda, Cryptoniscina)
Main Article Content
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.
