Title: Studies on Monogenean Trematodes Classification from Cultured Freshwater Fishes in Korea 2. Monogenean Trematodes from Cyprinus carpio and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus
Abstract: Monogeneans(Phylum Platyhelminthes) have been known as common parasites onto the skin and gills of cultured freshwater fishes. Infestation with these parasites result in a great loss in aquaculture industry. Some classification studies on these parasites have mostly been conducted in Japan but rarely in Korea. For the purpose of classifying monogenean parasites infesting two Korean freshwater fishes, carp(Cyprinus carpio) and loach(Misgurnus anguillicaudatus), samples captured from March 1998 to April 2000 were examined. Here we report that three different species of Monogeneans, Diplozoon nipponicum, Dactylogyrus extensus from carp and Gyrodactylus paralatus from loach, respectively. Of these the latter two parasites have never been identified in Korea.
