Abstract

Samples of Zooplankton collected in waters of the Prostor Gulf (Iturup Island) were examined. Metacercariae of Brachyphallus crenatus were found in copepods Pseudocalanus newmani and Acartia longiremis. This is the first record of the second intermediate hosts of this species in the North Pacific.
