Abstract

This
study aims to determine the
endoparasitic fauna of the fish species caught in Menzelet Dam Lake in
Kahramanmaraş, Turkey. Cyprinus carpio, Barbus
rajanorum, Alburnus sp., Capoeta angorae, Capoeta barroisi, Leuciscus cephalus and
Luciobarbus pectoralis caught in the Dam Lake were examined in terms of internal parasites. Neoechinorhynchus rutili and Ligula intestinalis endoparasites were found. Parasites were
stained, and pictures were taken under a
microscope.  The distribution of
parasites is presented according to ecological terms.

Keywords

Menzelet Dam Lake, Fish, Neoechinorhynchus rutili
