Abstract EN
This study examined eight hundred ninety six marine fishes belonging to nine different fish species; Synodus saurus; Merluccius merluccius; Trachurus mediterraneus; Serranus cabrilla; Mullus surmuletus; Diplodus annularis; Spicara maena; Siganus rirulatus and Liza ramada.
The fishes were bought from fish markets at five different sites on Libyan coast, from January to December 2013, for study the anisakids larvae among them.
The results showed that 344/896 fishes (38.4 %) were infected with Anisakids larvae.
S.
saurus was the highly infected (80.9%), followed by T.
mediterraneus (77.5 %) but, S.
cabrilla, S.
maena, M.
merluccius, M.
surmuletus, and D.
annularis were least anisakid infected showed rates of 58.2 %, 53.8%, 43.7 %, 36.7 % & 3.6 %, respectively.
No parasites were in S.
rirulatus and L, ramada.
Ten species of Anisakids larvae was detected during the present study.
Two Pseudoterranova sp.
Larvae, two types of Anisakis larvae, Anisakis simplex larva and Anisakis sp.
Larva, two types of Contracaecum sp.
Larvae and four Hysterothylacium larvae.
Females showed higher prevalence than males.
The number of anisakid larvae varied according to body length and weight of infected fish, without significant difference between prevalence and seasons, but, a significant difference was between prevalence and regions.
