Abstract

A total of 1218 fish samples were examined from the regions of Daquq and Altun Kupri, both riverine and farms, in the Kirkuk Governorate. The percentage of total infection with internal and external parasites was recorded in Cyprinus carpio, Leuciscus vorax, Carasobarbus luteus, Alburnus caeruleus, Planiliza abu, Chondrostoma regium, Arabibarbus grypus, Cyprinion macrostomum, Luciobarbus barbulus, L. xanthopterus, Capoeta damascina reached 15.599%. The infection with internal parasites of Neoechinorhynchus hamann, (Cestodes) was 3.776%, and the percentage of infection with external parasites (ciliates, spores, monogenesis, and fish lice) was recorded as 11.822%. The highest infection rate with spores was 8.702%.
