Abstract
The labyrinthulan parasite causing the disease of the Atlantic coast Zostera marina L. is reported on Z. marina from Departure Bay, Nanaimo, B.C. The gross and histological appearance of infected Pacific coast eel-grass are described and are found to be similar to those of the Atlantic coast grass and the parasites, in each case, are found to be identical.
