Abstract: Three species of snappers from artisanal, small-scale fisheries were examined for the presence of parasites. A total of 139 lutjanid fish were collected: 69 specimens of Lutjanus analis, 47 specimens of Lutjanus vivanus, and 23 specimens of Lutjanus synagris. Encysted plerocercoid of trypanorhynch cestodes found at necropsy in the viscera of snappers were sampled for parasitological analysis. These plerocercoid larvae belong to the genera Floriceps, Pseudogrillotia , and Oncomegas. Although these parasites do … Show more

“…However, larvae present in fish musculature can lead to the production of toxins, causing an allergic reaction in intolerant people (São Clemente et al, 1995). Fish with heavy loads of plerocercoids are rejected during the inspection as they compromise meat hygiene (Alves et al, 2018); and because of their appearance, which can lead to rejection by the consumer (Silva Júnior, 2010). The results contribute to the knowledge about the parasitic fauna of fish and its distribution along the coastline of Brazil.…”
