In this study, 7 species of culture fishes european seabass, gilt-head seabream,striped seabream, common seabream, sharp snout seabream, shi drum, common dentex (Dicentrarchus labrax, Sparus aurata, Lithognathus mormyrus, Pagrus pagrus, Diplodus puntazzo, Umbrina cirosa.

Soaps boops, Sarpa salpa, Pagellus erythrinus, Uranoscopus scaber, Cons julis, Scorpaena scrofa, Gobius sp. Stephanolepis diaspros, Mullus surmuletus, Trachurus mediterraneus, Serbia dumerili) were investigated in terms of parasite. Microcotyle chrysophrii, Diplectanum aequans, Furnestinia echeneis, Lernanthropus kroyeri, Caligus minumus, Ceratothoa oestroides. Praniza in culture fishes and Microcotyle chrysophrii, Microcotyle erythrini, Diplectanum aequans. Furnestinia echeneis. Cyclocotyle bellones, Choricotyle chrysophrii, Lernanthropus kroyeri, Hatschekia sargi, Hatschekia pygmaea, Caligus minumus, Ceratothoa oestroides, Praniza in natural fishes were found in wild fishes. The parasitological results belongs to three fish species found in both culture and naturel environment were compared statistically. No statistically signifecant differences were observed for Microcotyle chrysophrii for any month (P>0.05) between culture and wild fishes except in February (P0.05).
