The parasitic fauna of the northern pike and two species of pickerel (Esocidae) from a Connecticut lake has been investigated. Two species of trematodes, two of tapeworms, one each of roundworms, spiny‐headed worms, protozoa and parasitic crustacea are reported. The infestation of the Connecticut Lake Esocidae is compared with that of the same species from other localities.
