Some freshwater fish can be infected with parasites.
Parasites reduce nutritional value of fish and prevent their reproduction, growth and feeding.
The distribution and presence of parasites in water are very important knowledge in economy.
In this study, acanthocephalans of freshwater fish caught from Erzurum were investigated.
The aim of the study was determined the role of acanthocephalans in this system.
The fish of Karasu RiverPorsuk (Aras) RiverTortum LakeÇıldır LakeKuzgun Dam Lake
were examined in this study.
During the study a total of 170 fish of 13 species were investigated for the presence of acanthocephalans.
%Prevalence= Number of infected fish / Number of total fish
Mean intensity=
Number of total parasite / Number of infected fish
Mean abundance= Number of total parasite / Number of total fish

Acanthocephalan fauna of the fresh water fish from Erzurum province is included 4 species.

Enfected Fish Prev MI
Conclusion; Acanthocephalus salmonis was observed in
Salmo trutta Neoechinorhynchus zabensis in Capoeta
trutta Pomphorhynchus spindletruncatus in the
other 9 fish species. These acanthocephalan species are first
records for the parasite fauna of Turkey.
