Six digenetic trematodes infecting the hamour fish (Epinephelus chlorostigma) in the Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia.
No doubt, parasites infecting fish have a direct or indirect effect on the human welfare. This paper described six species of trematodes infecting Epinephelus chlorostigma (Family: Serranidae). These parasites were Prosorhynuchus epinepheli, P. thapari, Allopodocotyle epinepheli, Helicometrina nimia, Erilepturus hamati and E. lemeriensis. Camera Lucida and photos were given and the results were discussed.
