Default Diphyllobothrium Latum

Please, are there any marine biologists out there (either amateur of professional) who can give advice on these tapeworms?

I'm a member of a small club in the North of England and we estimate that 60% of our brown trout population is infected.

It is a medium sized reservoir and chemical treatment is not an option.

Can anyone advise as to whether rainbows are more resillient to attack than browns.

If so, we may, reluctantly, change our stocking policy.
