- Abstract
A total of 100 frozen fishes belonging to four different fish species were examined for presence of different types of parasites during the period from April 2014 till the end of November 2014. Examination of the fish specimens revealed infestation with four different parasitic classes that included Nematoda, Trematoda, Protozoa and Crustacea. When categorized according to species of fish, Herring fish (Clupea harengus ) was the most susceptible to parasitic infection with a total infection rate of 96% for different types of parasites. This was followed by Mackerel (Scomber scombrus ) with an infection rate of 92% , then the Horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) at the infection rate of 88%, and finally the Fish fillet (Pangasius hypophthalmus) was the least susceptible to parasites with the lowest infection rate of 16%.herring fish (Clupea harengus) was highly susceptible to Nematode infection at an infection rate of 92%, which was followed by infection with Protozoa (1.8%),Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) was susceptible to Nematode infection at the infection rate of 97.09% and to Protozoa with infection rate of 1.94%, while the infection rate with Crustacea was 0.97,Horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) was susceptible to Nematode infection at the infection rate of 97.8% and to Trematodes with 1.1% infection rate and to Crustacea with a rate of 1.1% and Fish fillet (Pangasius hypophthalmus) was susceptible to Trematodes with an infection rate of 16%.
