Summary

The difference in electrical conductivity between fish and an embedded parasite was hypothesized to be a practical basis for an instrument which would have potential for automated parasite detection. A small electrical current was passed through a parasite-containing fillet and the magnetic field above the fillet was recorded by a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. Results indicate potentially successful detection of parasites by the device.
