- Abstract
Specimens of the marine fish, Abalistes stellaris (Balistidae) were collected from local fish market in Hodeidah during the period between September 2008 and July 2010 . Six out of 80 (7.5%) of these fish were found to harbour intestinal trematodes, Hypocreadium cavum Bray and Cribb, 1996 (Lepocreadiidae). Since there is no previous report on these digenetic trematode from any fish host in Yemen, the present recording may well be considered the first in this country.
