Abstract

This study was conducted between March 2019 and March 2020. Samples were taken monthly. As a result of this study,  two types of ectoparasites were encountered in the gills of Randall's threadfin bream  (Nemipterus randalli, Russell, 1986) fish, Lernanthropus sp. (Blainville 1822) and Yellowstripe barracuda (Sphyraena chrysotaenia, Klunzinger 1884) in the fins of fish Paragnathia sp.
