Abstract
The tubenose goby (Proterorhinus marmoratus) was found as a new paratenic h ost of the Anguillicola crassus infective larvae in the Czech Republic. The values of prevalence (6.10%), intensity of infection (1-4 larvae), and abu ndance (0.116) are extremely low. A description of the larvae and documenta tion of determining features are added. The cau-ses of low infections of th is paratenic host are discussed.
