| Abstract | This study presents the first report of infection by Linguadactyloides brinkmanni Thatcher & Krytsky, 1983 (Monogenoidea, Dactylogyridae, Linguadactyloidinae) on the gills of the hybrid tambatinga ( Colossoma macropomum x Piaractus brachypomus ) from fish farms from the city of Macapa, state of Amapa, eastern Amazonia, Brazil. Out of 201 hybrid tambatinga examined, ten had their gills infested by L. brinkmanni (prevalence= 4.9%). From these hosts, 21 specimens of L. brinkmanni were collected and the mean intensity of infestation was 2.1 (1-4 parasites). This study expands the distribution of this monogenoidean for a new host. |
