Özet
The red mullet, Mullus barbatus ponticus Essipov, 1927 inhabiting the Black Sea was examined for presence oftrichodinid ectoparasites. A total of three species of trichodinids belonging to Trichodina and Paratrichodina genera, wereidentified: Trichodina domerguei Wallengren, 1897, T. ovonucleata Raabe, 1958 and Paratrichodina obliqua Lom 1963.Photomicrographs and morphometric data were presented for each species. The existence of trichodinid parasites in relationto size and the sex of the red mullet as well as their seasonal occurrences were also investigated and determined. This paperis the first report on the trichodinid ectoparasites on the red mullet in Turkey. Trichodina ovonucleata and P. obliqua arenew records for Turkish fish parasite fauna, while P. obliqua and T. domerguei are new parasite records for M. barbatusponticus. The number of hosts of these trichodinid species is increased based on the results of this study in addition to thepreviously published data.
