​Nematodes in Scottish wild fish

Building on earlier findings, this study focused specifically on wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), aiming to determine the species of anisakid nematodes present and their prevalence in salmon muscle tissue

Summary 

Building on earlier findings, this study focused specifically on wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), aiming to determine the species of anisakid nematodes present and their prevalence in salmon muscle tissue. The research employed molecular techniques to distinguish between morphologically similar nematode species. The study confirmed that wild salmon are indeed hosts to Anisakis and Pseudoterranova, with implications for food safety and allergenicity, especially given the popularity of raw salmon products.
