| Abstract | Forty sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax from a commercial sea-farm in Turkey were examined for the presence of parasites, in November 2005. Heavy infections by Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851, a pathogenic crustacean gill parasite, were detected in all fish. Thus, the prevalence was 100 % and the mean intensity of infection was 50.30 (SD10.68) with a range of 29-77 parasites per fish. The hosts showed pale, necrotic gills with a rich mucus production and prominent haemorrhages. Histologically infected gills showed erosion, desquamation, vacuolar degeneration of the secondary lamellae and fusion in the distal ends of the secondary lamellae. |
