Abstract:The present study recorded the adult stages of two digenetic trematodes from the anterior part of the alimentary canal and pyloric caeca of two commercially important marine bony fishes belonging to the family Serranidae from the Red Sea in Egypt. They are opecoelid Cainocreadium epinepheli (Yamaguti, 1934) Durio and Manter, 1968 and Bucephalid Prosorhynchus serrani Durio and Manter, 1968 that infect areolate grouper, Epinephelus areolatus and yellow-edged lyretail, Variola louti, respectively. The incidence … Show more
