Agroup of 186 fish specimens were obtained from Kuwait water including 37 silver pomfrets, (Pampas argenteus), 71 greasy groupers, (Epinephelus tauvina) and 78 Malabar blood snapper (Lutjanus malabaricus). They were examined during the period from December, 2001 to November, 2002 for helminth infection. Only one snapper fish and a small proportion of the silver pomfrets were found infected with the nematode, Hysterothylacium sp., but all the greasy groupers were free of infection with any species of helminthes. Thus no- cestodes, trematodes, monogeneans or acanthocephalans were found yet in any of the examined fishes. The relationships between level of infection, sex of the infected fishes, and the environmental factors are hereby discussed.
