Abstract
The present study describes nematode infection in the freshwater fish Bagrus bayad (Osteichthyes) collected from the Red Sea at Suez Canal Zone. Of 32 examined fish, 21 (65%) were infected with Goezia sp. (Nematoda: Family: Anisakidae) with mean ntensity of 4.1 parasites. The nematode present here differs from Goezia braziliensis, G. breviaeca and G. intermedia, as well as from other species described. The main difference was in the greater number of pre-anal papillae in males compared to G. braziliensis. The present parasite also differs from G. braziliensis in spicule length and distance of vulva from the anterior extremity.
