Abstract :In this study, a total of 94 fish were used, including 10 Acanthobrama marmid, 17 Capoeta trutta, and 20 Capoeta umbla specimens, obtained from fishermen in the Dicle River and Keban Dam Lake in October 2021. It was found that 85 of the fish examined were infected. Diplostomum spathaceum was identified in the eye fluid, and Neoechynorhynchus rutili was identified in the intestines of the fish. A total of 2.846 parasites were found in the Dicle River, with 2109 D. spathaceum and 737 N. rutili, and the density, abundance, and prevalence of parasites were determined to be 66.18, 60.55, and 91.48, respectively. In Keban Dam Lake, a total of 2.846 parasites were detected, including 1.817 D. spathaceum and 737 N. rutili, and the density, abundance, and prevalence of the parasites were determined to be 54.80, 48.97, and 89.36, respectively.
