# The only ascaridoids detected in the fish from the Gulf of Cadiz (FAO 27.IXa) were of the genus Hysterothylacium. SD: standard deviation. U: uninfected fish. I: infected fish. ND: Anisakis not detected. Student’s t-test comparison of length, weight and condition factor between uninfected and infected fish: ** p < 0.01; * p = 0.05; ns, not significant.
