Mean den- <br />sities were consistently lower in larger size classes during the winter months of <br />both years. <br />The prevalence and density of B, acheilognathi were estimated for the entire <br />mosquitofish population (Fig. 3), The estimates indicate that prevalence increased <br />steadily during late summer and fall, Lowest prevalence occurred from late spring <br />to early summer during both years of study, Estimated mean densities of B, <br />acheilognathi varied in a pattern similar to that of estimated prevalence (Fig. 3). <br />Thus, lowest densities were in summer, with peaks in early winter. <br /> <br />Seasonal dynamics of B. acheilognath; at the thermally altered site <br /> <br />The population dynamics of B, acheilognathi varied seasonally at the thermally <br />altered site (Fig. 4). Recruitment of the cestode began in May of both years and <br />continued through October of 1980 and November of 1981; it stopped, however, <br />in August of each year. In 1980, prevalence peaked in all size classes of mosqui- <br />
