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, eel (Anguilla japonica) and catfish(Parasilurus asotus), samples captured from March 1998 to April 2000 were examined. Here we report for the first time in Korea that four different species of monogeneans are identified: Pseudodactylogyrus bini and P. anguillae in eels; Ancylodiscoides infundibulovagina and Ancylodiscoides sp. in catfish.

1998년 3월부터 2000년 4월까지 전라남 북도 및 충청남도 일원의 내수면 양식장에서 사육중인 뱀장어(Anguilla japonica)와 메기(Parasilurus asotus)를 무작위로 채집하여 아가미에서 국내 미기록종인 4종의 단생흡충류를 검출하였다. 검출된 단생흡충류는 모두 아가미 흡충으로서 뱀장어에서는 Pseudodactylogyrus bini(KIKUCHI, 1929), P. anguillae(YIN & SPROSTON, 1948), 메기에서 Ancylodiscoides infundibulovagina(YAMAGUTI,1941) 및 Ancylodiscoides sp.가 검출되었다.
