Notes on the biology and partial life history of the dracunculid, Philonema oncorhynchi Kuitunen-Ekbaum / author E. Kuitunen-Ekbaum.Fs52-3/304E-PDF

"The present data do not by any means complete the picture of the life cycle of Philonema oncorhynchi and are not so intended. They do, however, serve to extend the existing knowledge of this species. As for its original discovery in the adult sockeye salmon returning from the sea and the consequent belief that it is a marine parasite, the most recent discovery of specimens in young sockeye salmon still resident in fresh-water indicates that it is in all probability a fresh-water species. It would appear that infection by this parasite may take place either in fresh-water or both in fresh-water and in the sea"--Conclusions, pages 7-8.
