Determination of the swim bladder parasite Anguillicola crassus (Nematoda, Dracunculoidea) in the European Eel, Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758) from the locality Çamalti Tuzla of Izmir Bay, Eastern Aegean Sea
We, here, aimed to determine the presence of Anguillicola crassus, a swim bladder parasite, in 89 (male: 45, female: 44) dead European eel specimens obtained seasonally between 2020-2021 from a regional fisherman, who has fished with fyke net in the locality Tuzla of Izmir Bay, Eastern Aegean Sea.
