Spleen Spotted

Spotted spleen - (lien maculatum) - a species of fish from the family of parasitic tapeworms that parasitize in the mature stage in the liver of great minke whales and minke whales of the Earth (Eubalaena australis, Megaptera novaeangliae) and dolphins (Tursiops truncatus, Orcinus orca and Phocoena phocoena). The larvae of the parasite live in large numbers in intermediate hosts - large minke whales, the length of which reaches more than 20 meters and weight - 60-150 tons. The main sign of the presence of mature helminths in the body is the presence of large gray-brown spots on the abdomen, which merge to form brown-gray spots like those of whales,
