Redescription
Scientific Name Notes -Andersen and Kennedy (1983) considered this species to be a possible synonym of E. fragile, considering the similarity of their fish hosts. The original description of E. clupeonellae is very brief, superficial and is supplemented with very schematic illustrations (Dogiel and Bychowsky 1938). Nevertheless, it clearly demonstrates that this species differs from E. fragile by possessing a markedly different shaped and sized scolex. In its general morphology, E. clupeonellae resembles E. acipenserinum Cholodkovsky, 1918, described from sturgeon in the Caspian Sea, rather than E. fragile. Protasova (1977) considered E. clupeonellae to be a species inquirenda. Like E. crassum, E. fragile is most probably of marine origin (Andersen and Kennedy 1983), but it can survive residence in freshwater for short periods during spawning of the host (Kennedy 1981).
