Gills examination revealed that they compress one species of monogenea with prevalence 33.3%. Based on 30 temporary and 5 (holotype and 4 paratypes) permanently mounted specimens, the obtained monogenean parasites were belonging to Diplectanids. It is characterized by a compact, sclerotised vagina sinistral with a robust trumpet, long primary canal and well developed accessory structure.
