Özet:

 

In the present study digenean parasite faunas of four labrid fishes, Symphodus tinca, S. rossali, S. cinereus  and  S.  ocellatus  were  investigated  and  compared.  A  total  of  52  fish  specimens  were  caught  on  the  Black  Sea  coast  near  Sinop,  Turkey,  over  two  years.  Eight  digenean  species  were  found in the four labrid fishes. These are Helicometra fasciata, Gaevskajatrema perezi, Proctoeces maculatus, Phyllodistomum crenilabri, Galactosomum lacteum, Condylocotyla pilodora, Metade-na pauli and Opecoelidae gen. sp. Each digenean species on their respective hosts were counted, their  prevalence,  mean  intensity  and  abundance  values  were  determined.  While  the  maximum  parasite  diversity  was  found  in  S.  tinca,  S.  ocellatus  was  infected  with  the  fewest  parasites.  Total  parasite  abundance  was  significantly  high  in  S.  roissali,  which  was  infected  with  four  species.  A  close  resemblance  was  observed  in  the  digenean  parasite  faunas  of  S.  tinca  and  S.  roissali.  The  core, secondary, satellite, and rare species in the digenean parasite community of each host were determined. This study contains the first data on the digenean parasites of labrid fish on Turkish Black Sea coast. Phyllodistomum crenilabri and Metadena pauli are new parasite records in Turkish fish parasite fauna, while Condylocotyla pilodora is a new parasite record for the labrid fishes.
