Abstract

The common squid, Todarodes pacificus was infected by parasites. The parasites may be infective to humans if common squid are eaten raw as 'sashimi' or 'sushi'. The species of the parasites in host, T. pacificus were Tentacularia sp., Orygmatobothrim sp. and Ponocaecum sp.. The prevalence, relative density and mean intensity of three parasites were $100.00\%$, 24.13 and 24.13 respectively.
