title: [Parasitic nematodes of fish in the coastal waters of Gökçeada].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study is to determine the parasitic nematodes of fish near Gökçeada, their host and infection values.
  
  
  METHODS
  The fish caught by various fishing methods were transported to the laboratory. The fishes were dissected and studied for nematoda. At first, the nematodes were investigated live and some of these nematodes were fixed. Later these nematodes were cleared in lacthofenol and identified.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In this study, a total of 887 fish samples belonging to different 50 fish species, were investigated and 7 species of nematoda were found, (Anisakis simplex, Contracaecum fabri, Contracaecum aduncum, Cucullanus micropapillatus, Cucullanus hians, Ascarophis sp,. Echinocephalus spinosissimus).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Anisakis simplex and Contracaecum fabri, found in different 11 fish species, were the dominant species for this region.
