Abstract

This study was based on the molecular identification of endoparasites sampled from three economically valuable fish species caught from the waters of the Canakkale (Türkiye). Subjected samples in the study were from chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, 1782), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus Linnaeus, 1758), and bogue (Boops boops Linnaeus, 1758) without gender discrimination. The nematode parasites obtained from the samples were sent to molecular diagnostic laboratories in alcohol and the results were interpreted. As a result of the study, Anisakis typica (Diesing, 1860) Baylis, 1920 and Anisakis pegreffii Campana-Rouget and Biocca, 1955 were isolated from the chub mackerel fish and Anisakis pegreffii species were also isolated from anchovy and bogue. This parasite was the most isolated nematode parasite among all nematodes.
