| Abstract | ||
| Parasitic infection of Pampus argenteus was examined from northwest of Qeshm Island. A total of 62 specimens were caught in summer 2008 and winter 2009 by bottom trawl and the specimens were selected randomly in different length classes and immediately deep frozen. All samples were transferred to laboratory, after measuring fish weight and length, parasitological survey implemented by stereo and light microscopes on gills, skin, fins and internal organs. A total of 62 specimens only 55 fish (% 96/7) were infected by monogenean, digenean and nematod parasites. Separated parasites of the fishes are: Monogenea: Bicotyle sp1., Bicotyle sp2., Heteromicrocotyla sp., Digenea: Neolepidapedoides sp. Nematoda: Camallanus sp. All speciemens in this study are reported for the first time in Iran from P. argenteus and Pampus argenteus are introduced as a new host for Heteromicrocotyla sp. and Neolepidapedoides sp. | ||
