Abstract
Six hundred fifteen specimens of the cystidicolid nematode Salvelinema salmonicola (Ishii, 1916) were found in the swimbladder of a sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka from Lake Toya, central Hokkaido, northern Japan. The stomach of this fish contained many, benthic gammaridean amphipods Jesogammarus jesoensis, which are most likely to serve as an intermediate host for S. salmonicola in the lake. While sockeye salmon are known to exclusively prey on small fish when the zooplankton biomass remains low in this locality, the present findings of S. salmonicola and J. jesoensis indicate that these salmon feed on benthic amphipods as well and get infected with the nematode.
