  2. Some freshwater fish can be infected with parasites. • Parasites reduce nutritional value of fish and prevent their reproduction, growth and feeding. • The distribution and presence of parasites in water are very important knowledge in economy. • In this study, acanthocephalans of freshwater fish caught from Erzurum were investigated. • The aim of the study was determined the role of acanthocephalans in this system.

  3. The fish of KarasuRiver Porsuk (Aras) River Tortum Lake Çıldır Lake KuzgunDam Lake were examined in this study. During the study a total of 170 fish of 13 species were investigated for the presence of acanthocephalans.
