Material and Methods : The ten rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (300 - 350 g) examined were infested with numerous copepod parasites which were attached to body muscles especially in the caudal and abdominal area. Results : According to morphological results, this parasite was identified as L. cyprinacea.
