Introduction

Anisakis oceanicus was synonymised with S. physeteris (reported as A. physeteris by Davey (1971); Shamsi et al. (2012) suggested that it might be valid, but its validity is still in doubt according to Shamsi (2014).

Ecological Descriptors

Parasitic (host(s): Globocephalus ventricosus (Traill, 1809) [DELPHINIDAE] Long-finned Pilot Whale; Scomber australasicus Cuvier, 1832 [SCOMBRIDAE] Blue mackerel).
