Two parasitic nematode, or roundworms, worms found crawling in the intestines of gutted mackerel, Scomber scombrus, England UK


Two parasitic nematode, or roundworms, found crawling in the intestines of gutted mackerel, Scomber scombrus, that were caught shore fishing from Chesil beach Dorset England UK GB. The parasitic nematode worms live in the organs, intestines and flesh of sea fish such as cod, mackerel and pollack. If ingested alive by humans they can potentially cause illness so freezing fish at low temperatures for the required time or correct cooking of fish should destroy them.
