Host Notes Dollfus (1942, p. 206, footnote 4) suggests several species of Squalus as possible hosts, all of which are now synonyms of M. mustelus according to Compagno (1984). The plerocercus is known from various crabs of the genera Pagrus, Macropodia, Inachus, Hyas and Carcinas (see Dollfus, 1942)
