The main objectives of this study were to study the parasitic infestation of Lernaea cyprinacea in 4 cyprinids from the Choghakhor Lagoon, Chaharmahal - Bakhtyari Province, west of Iran. A total of 180 cyprinids including Cyprinus carpio (n=101), Carassius auratus (n=47), Capoeta aculeata (n=10) and Alburnus alburnus (n=22) caught, and were studied for Lernaea cyprinacea infestation.

Fish live in a medium that is an especially good conductor of sound, and the myriad extant species—some 25,000 in the class Osteichthyes (bony fishes) alone (Nelson, 1984)—have evolved diverse mechanisms for transducing acoustic stimuli. It should not be surprising if sophisticated functionality in the auditory domain turns out to be a major component of the perceptual and cognitive capabilitie...

In the present investigation a total of six parasite species, some eye-specific and others non-organ specific parasites were found in the eyes of 48 examined fish species, collected from fresh and brackish waters of Iran during 2004-2006. Ichthyophthirius multifiliis  was isolated from the external surface of the eyes of Oncorhynchus mykiss, Gyrodactylus stankovici from Cyprinus carpio and Lern...
