Impact Description | Osmerus eperlanus is the most important fish intermediate/transport host of the Sealworm Pseudoterranova dedpiens. This leads to commercial losses for the seafood processing industry, due to the presence of these worms in the fillets of many important food fishes (e.g. Gadus morhua, Pollachius virens, Hippog jossus sp.). |
