Abstract :
Pick handle barracuda (Sphyraena jello) is one of
the most important commercial species in the Persian
Gulf. In order to investigate prevalence and
intensity of nematoda, 150 S. jello from three sites
(Khuzestan, Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces) of
the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf were monthly
investigated in the period 2012-2013. The nematodes
belonging to the genus Hysterothylacium
(family Raphidascarididae) were isolated from the
abdominal cavity and digestive tract with a prevalence
of 12% and mean intensity of 4.8. Intensity
of infestation was increased with size of the host
(P < 0.05). This study is the first report of presence of
the third and fourth- stage of an unreported type of
Hysterothylacium larvae in S. jello from the Persian
Gulf.
