Here is a url which explains quite a lot about worms and the health issues associated with them: http://www.fao.org/wairdocs/tan/x5951e/x5951e01.htm

While they do look pretty disturbing, don't be too worried about them as they aren't dangerous.

thanks m8 read the post and it made very interesting reading,i think once most of the worms have been removed and the fish cooked i should be safe i hope anyway i have noticed the same dark spots in the flesh of fish bought from super markets and chippies ,so it must be ok ,again i hope
