Prevalence of ecto- and endoparasites of the Sea bass Dicentrachus Labrax in Port Said Governorate, Egypt.
The Sea bass (Dicentrachus labrax) consider one of the most important seawater fish species of South Europe and Mediterranean aquaculture. In the present study; we investigated the parasitism of Sea bass in Port Said Governorate, Egypt during the period from October 2016 till October 2017. A total number of 100 sea bass (ranged from 300 to 400 gm weight) were collected randomly, the parasitological examination showed a total of 9 different parasite species were found. The ectoparasites were represented by two copepods (Caligus elongates and Lernanthropus psciaenae) with 28% total prevalence, one isopod species (Levonica redmani) infestation rate was 16%, and one monogenean species which wasDiplectanum aequans, which showed the highest infection rate (64%). Five species of digenean were found with a total prevalence of 36%, they were (Acanthostomum spiniceps, Erilepturus Hamati, Stephanostomum murielae, Creptotrema creptotrema, and Aponurus mulli), the highest total prevalence of infestation among the examined fish was in autumn (60%) and the lowest was in summer (24%), while in winter and spring the prevalence rates were 48% and 36% respectively.
