Light and scanning electron microscopy on monogenean parasite from Red Sea fish Nemipterus Japonicus (Trieadin Braens)‎ in Egypt

الملخص EN

During a survey from November 2012 till October 2013 on a marine fish’s species Nemipterus japonicas, a microcotylid monogenean species Lutianicola haifonensis was recorded for the first time from 42 out of 80 (52.

5 %) examined fish’s species in Red Sea.

Nemipterus japonicas were found to be recorded as a new host for both the monogenea and crustacean parasite species.

A copepod crustacean, Hatschekia gracilis also recorded for the first time from 16 out of 80 (20 %) of N.

japonicas fishes.

A brief description for Lutianicola haifonensis and Hatschekia gracilis was presented.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for L.

haifonensis is studied.
