30 COMPARATIVE PARASITOLOGY, 67(1), JANUARY 2000 St. Lawrence River watershed (Bonin et al., 1995). Differences in mudpuppy size also could reflect some other aspect of habitat quality or age differences among the populations. Prevalence of cataracts was high in Lake St. Frangois, but extremely low in Lake St. Louis and the Richelieu River. This can be attributed to the higher prevalence and abundance of Diplostotnum sp. in Lake St. FranQois compared with the other sites. Yet, in both Lake St. Fran- Qois and Lake St. Louis, the prevalence of cataracts was much lower than the prevalence of eyeflukes. Thus, the presence of cataracts is not a reliable indicator of infection with eyeflukes, at least in mudpuppies. It is not known if the single mudpuppy possessing cataracts in the Richelieu River was infected with eyeflukes, or whether the cataracts resulted from another cause. Cataracts are caused by metacercariae, by dietary deficiency or excess, or by excessive exposure to sunlight, cold, or injury (Ferguson, 1989). In any case, the possibility of the presence of Diplostomum sp. in the Richelieu River cannot be dismissed. The results demonstrate that animals other than fish become infected with metacercariae of Diplostomum sp. Given that amphibians develop cataracts (Ferguson, 1943; this study), concern for the health of aquatic fauna susceptible to blindness resulting from infection with eyeflukes must be extended beyond fish to include amphibians, especially in areas where Diplostomum sp. levels are high. Acknowledgments We thank Sacha Compagna, Emmanuelle Bergeron, Michel Arseneau, Paul Messier, and Robert Angers for technical assistance. Thanks go to Francois Boudreault for preparing the figure. Drs. Don McAlpine and Tim Goater provided keys and assistance for the identification of the tadpoles. Dr. J. D. McLaughlin is gratefully acknowledged for sharing his unpublished information on experimental infections of gulls with Diplostomum spp. metacercariae from the St. Lawrence River.
