Abstract :

Gypsy King Fish (Chalcalburnus chalcoides) is from the carp family and found largely in the country's water resources. Ligula intestinalis is one of the parasites of this fish. Ligula intestinalis has two intermediated hosts. Cyclops is first intermediate hosts and fish are the second intermediate hosts. Plerocercoid larva can be found in the abdominal cavity of fish. This study was designed to investigate the causes of fish mortality trench Gilan province saungar- Dam in September 2012 was conducted. Were randomly sampled and a total of 65 fish species caught, identified and determined by age and parasitology were performed on them. The results showed that the infection rate 83/08 and 54 fish of 65 fish digit number were infected.
