“…Among monogenea, Ligophorus spp. reported to have the highest prevalence, especially in Liza species (Merella and Garippa 2001). Because all mugilids studied to date have been infected with more than 1 species of Ligophorus, it is natural to assume that this genus is far more diverse than currently described.…”

Juvenile golden grey mullet, Liza aurata were collected from Sarıkum Lagoon Lake which connected to the Black Sea at Sinop, Turkey and examined for parasitic fauna. A total of 219 fish were investigated throughout a 1-year period. Parasite species recovered were Trichodina lepsii, T. puytoraci, Gyrodactylus sp., Ligophorus cephali, Ligophorus mediterraneus, Solostamenides mugilis, Ascocotyle sp. (metacercaria) and Ergasilus lizae. Overall infection prevalence (%) and mean intensity values were 95.9% and 412.65 ± 85.31 parasites per infected fish, respectively. Infection prevalence and mean intensity values for each parasite species in relation to season and fish size were also determined and discussed. While Ligophorus cephali and L. mediterraneus are new records for Turkish parasite fauna, the juvenile Liza aurata is a new host record for Ligophorus cephali and L. mediterraneus.

“…It was measured as 91% (Mugil cephalus), 54% (Chelon labrosus), 32% (Liza saliens), 18% (Liza ramada), and 16% (Liza aurata) by Merella and Garippa (2001) and as 3.3% (Boops boops) by Pérez-del Olmo (2008) in the Mediterranean Sea. It meanwhile was recorded as 29.6% (Chelon labrosus), 4.4% (Liza ramada), and 1.8% (Liza aurata) by Radujkovic (1989) and 10% (Liza aurata) by us in the Black Sea.…”

“…These were L. angustus (Monogenea, Ancyrocephalidae), S. obesum (Digenea: Haploporidae), and N. agilis (Acanthocephala: Eoacanthocephala). reported in C. labrosus (Radujković, 1982;Altunel, 1983;Meralla and Garippa, 2001;Mariniello et al, 2004;Ragias et al, 2005). In the present study, L. angustus, S. obesum, and N. agilis showed a definite seasonal cycle in their prevalence of infection.…”

IntroductionThicklip grey mullets, Chelon labrosus (family Mugilidae), are commonly found from the coastal regions of the eastern Atlantic, Scandinavia, and Iceland to southern Senegal and the Mediterranean Sea and southwestern Black Sea. They live inshore, in brackish lagoons and fresh water, and they tend to move northward in the summer as the temperature rises. Little is known about the parasitic fauna of C. labrosus. To our knowledge,
