Abstract

Thaparocleidus caecus (Mizelle & Kritsky, 1969) Lim, 1996 (Dactylogyridae) was reported for the first time from iridescent shark-catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, Sauvage, 1878) imported into Turkey via the aquarium fish trade. T. caecus were found on the gills of the examined fish with a prev-alence of 28%. Identification, based on morphological characteristics for T. caecus, was confirmed by rRNA sequencing, evidencing the transfer of T. caecus to different countries. Our results emphasize that the ornamental fish trade poses a range expansion of un-documented parasite spec
