Four genera and nine species of Myxosporida are reported from five genera and 12 species of macrourids and the sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria. One new species, Chloromyxum kabatai, sp. n. is also described. Those species which are found in many geographically scattered hosts show remarkable uniformity in spore dimensions.
