    Abstract:
    To identify acanthocephala found in 'Changran-pickles' and 'Myungran-pickles' each organ was measured in permanent slides. In the present report, the results obtained were as follows: 1. Morphology of male worms: Worms possessed 18-19 longitudinal rows, with 4 hooks per row, which became smaller towards the base of proboscis. Each worm contained two testis and six cement glands arranged linearly. Body 22.0 by 0.8-0.6 mm and 15.0 by 0.6-0.4 mm, proboscis 284.8 by 227.6 micro m and 524.9 by 151.4 micro m, proboscis sheath 1570.7 by 72.7 micro m and 751.9 by 280.4 micro m, lemnisci length 2566.7 and 1085.6, testis 2202.9-1860.5 by 737.0-575.7 micro m and 1033.8-981.1 by 463.1-351.6 micro m, cement glands 940.2 by 441.2 micro m and 610.0 by 369.1 micro m. 2. Morphology of female worms: Worms possessed 14-18 longitudinal rows, with 6-10 hooks per row and become smaller toward the base of proboscis. Each worm contained an uterine bell and uterus in the posterior portion and the eggs filled the body cavity. Body, approximately 14.0 - 51.0 mm by 0.7-0.5 - 2.2-1.4 mm, proboscis 466.1-268.9 micro m by 259.9-252.0 micro m, proboscis sheath 1550.7-506.0 by 298.8-231.1 micro m, lemnisci length 1325.7-473.1 micro m, eggs approximately 112.4 by 28.5 micro m - 51.7 by 14.0 micro m. In this present study, the acanthocephala collected in 'Changran-pickles' and 'Myungran-pickles' were identified as Echinorhynchus gadi by morphological features.
