        Chalcalburnus mossulensis from the Cyprinidae family is one of the indigenous fish in many water sources. Ligula intestinalis is one of the infective parasites of this fish. In this study, The effect of this parasite in some biological parameters of this fish like: Weight, Total length, Condition Index (I.C.) and Gonadosomatic Ratio (G.S.R.) was investigated. After random sampling, collected 300 samples from Gheshlagh Lake of Kordestan, Species and age of samples was detected. In 25% of samples the infection was seen. The result of this infection was the negative effect in all biological parameters (p<0.05). In other words, There is a significant difference between the means of biometrical parameters in infected and non infected samples. By considering the negative effects of this parasite on Cyprinidae family, It is necessary to control the spread of this parasite in different water sources.  Manuscript profile
