| Impact Description | American eels, Anguilla rostrata, with Anguillicola crassus had significantly lower spleen, liver, and eviscerated mass. This indicates that adult eels with parasite infection could have anemia or reduction in energy stores. These effects were most severe in smaller eels due to higher parasite to eel body mass ratio. |
