In addition, the records are listed under host. Tables summarising (I) the occurrence of parasites families, and (II) the geographical distribution of parasite species, are included. A figure illustrating the bathymetry of the parasite species is given. Information from 84 papers is summarised, in cluding records from 49 host-species and 13 genera. 68 identified species of adult worm, from 29 genera and 12 families and are reported. The most frequently reported families are the Lepocreadiidae, Derogenidae and Hemiuridae. The most frequently reported genus is Lepidapedon. Worms are reported from macrourids a depths between 150 and 7,000 m, with five identified species reported from the north-eastern Atlantic abyssal plain at a depth of about 4,850 m.
