Following the wreck of the oil tanker Braer on the coast of Shetland, Scotland, in January 1993, many shags (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) were killed. Sixty-nine per cent of these birds were found to harbor a sexually mature acanthocephalan (5 +/- 4.3 [SE] worms per infected bird) in their small intestines. The acanthocephalan has been identified as Andracantha tunitae (= Corynosoma tunitae) on the basis of its characteristic fields of trunk spines and their distribution in the region of the genital aperture.
