ABSTRACT

The presence of glochidia of Diplodon chilensis Haas 1931 (mollusca, pelecypoda) has been reported in gills of wild freshwater fish in the Argentinisn Patagonia. Death ocurrences due to glochidiasis have not been observed either in wild fish or in cultured fish. The records of oncorhynchus mykiss, Galaxias platei, Patagonia hatcheri and Percichty trucha extend the number of known hosts for D. chilensis and add new localities, thus extending the distributions of the mollusc
