| Abstract |
One hundred fifty marine fishes, 50 Scomberomorus commerson , 50 Siganus canaliculatus and 50 Epinephelus gigas were examined for gill monogenean parasites . The total prevalence of monogeneanParasites was 26 %. The detected monogenean were NeohexostomaEpinepheli sp. Nov. (4 %) from Epinephelus gigas, Pricea multae (58%) and Neothoracocotyle commersoni sp. Nov. ( 10 %) from Scomberomorus commerson and Gotocotyla sigani sp. Nov. (6%) from Siganus canaliculatus . The mean intensity of infestation was high in Pricea multae (7.79) followed by Neothoracocotyle commersoni (4.4)Gotocotyla sigani (2.6) and Neohexostoma epinepheli (2%). Microhabitat, distribution of Pricea multae on the gill arches and sectors of Scomberomorus commerson revealed that this parasite preferred the first gill arch and the anterior top sectors of gills followed by second ,third and fourth. This distribution probably offered a suitable niche for reproduction or a suitable food resource in this blood feeding monogenean. Depending upon the morphological variations of the flukes specially the shape, size and number of terminal anchors and Clamps .
