Breams infected with ligula worms are edible
Biochemists and parasitologists at KarRC RAS studied how the wellbeing and nutritive value of the bream is affected by ligula – a flatworm that can grow to be several times as long as the host fish. To this end, scientists checked a number of crucial parameters in healthy and ligula-infected fish from Lake Syamozero. Analyses show that this parasite, non-hazardous for humans, does not have much effect on the quality of the fish either.
