Survey of intestinal parasites of Neogobius bathybius in south-western coasts of the Caspian Sea

Abstract

Neogobius bathybious fish were caught in south-western coastal waters of the Caspian Sea, from Anzali to Zibakenar, by bottom trawl. Fish specimens numbering 97 were examined for intestinal parasites and prevalence, intensity and dominance were calculated for each kind of parasites. Four different parasites were isolated from the fish including Dichelyne minutes which with %85.56 prevalence and %65.76 intensity was the most important infecting parasite. Corynosoma strumosum showed %51.54, Anisakis sp. %12.37 and Eustrogylides excises %1.03 prevalence as the other isolated parasites in fish
