Abstract
In 1979 Ozcelik described a new Triaenophorus species in Upper Lake Constan ce and named it Triaenophorus procerus. During an investigation in 1999 on Triaenophorosis in Upper Lake Constance 1307 Eurasian perch (Perca fluviati lis L.) and 176 Northern pike (Esox lucius L.) were investigated (Brinker, 2000). Within this study some T. procerus like plerocercoids were found. Ho wever, thorough investigations strongly suggest that these plerocercoids do not belong to T. procerus n. sp. but represent T. nodulosus plerocercoids with incompletely developed hooks.
