An adult male blue shark, Prionace glauca (L.), caught in July 2000 by a recreational fisherman off Long Island, New York, USA, had a retained fishing hook from a previous capture. The hook penetrated the gastric wall and lacerated the right liver lobe. @entity75 consisted of transmural @entity3621 and @entity298 . Alteromonas sp. and @entity12671 were isolated from the peritoneal fluid. In addition, a well delineated, sessile mass was found on the otherwise normal serosa of the right testis. Histopathological findings included @entity1373 and @entity1184 involving diffusely the gastric, hepatic and parietal serosae, and forming a discrete testicular capsular mass compatible with @entity2615 . In the liver an @entity1419 , @entity3619 , @entity1373 and increased numbers of melanomacrophages were found. In addition organisms compatible with histozoic and coelozoic myxosporeans were found within the skeletal muscle of the abdomen and intrahepatic bile ducts, respectively. This is the third literature report of a @entity96 and the first report of a coelomic @entity2615 from a shark.
