FIG. 1.

High-level parasitism by Anisakis simplex L3 in the flesh of a hake (Merluccius merluccius). Larvae persist in an arrested development stage (hypobiosis) prior to ingestion by the final host. Embedded larvae are dark in color due to a protective cuticle and different from the pinkish-white color typical of free and motile L3 (see Fig. 4).
