ABSTRACT. A parasitological study of 68 fishes belonging to seven species was conducted in July 2009. The fish species included the following: bleak, Alburnus alburmus (L.); roach, Rutilus rutilus (L.); rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus (L.); bream, Abramis brama (L.); ruffe, Gymnocephalus cernuus (L.); bullhead, Abramis bjoerkna (L.); gudgeon, Gobio gobio (L.). The aim of the study was to analyze the parasites of fish from Lake Wymój. A total of 16 parasites species belonging to the following taxa were identified: Monogenea (Dactylogyrus minor, Gyrodactylus sp., Paradiplozoon homoion homoion), Digenea (Diplostomum sp., Ichthyocotylurus platycephalus, Posthodiplostomum cuticola, Rhipidocotyle sp., Tylodelphys clavata), Cestoda (Caryophyllaceus laticeps, Paradilepis scolecina, Protocephalus sp.), Nematoda (Camallanus lacustris), Crustacea (Argulus foliaceus, Caligus lacutris, Ergasilus sieboldi), Mollusca (glochidia). Of all the parasites collected, the most frequent group was the metacercaria Diplostomum sp., the pleurocercus Paradilepis scolecina occurred less frequently, and the rest of the parasite species occurred rarely.
