In a preliminary survey (February - April 2010) of 25 wild European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax (Linnaeus, 1758) from St. Gilla lagoon seventeen parasite taxa were found. The metazoan detected were: the copepods Lernanthropus kroyeri and Caligus minimus; the monogenean Diplectanum aequans; the digeneans Bucephalus labracis, B. baeri, B. minimus, Timoniella imbutiforme, T. praeterita, Cainocreadium labracis, Monascus sp., Galactosomum lacteum; the nematodes Contracaecum rudolphii L3 and adults of Philometra sp.; Cestoda Tetraphyllidaea larvae; the acanthocephalans Acanthocephaloides propinquus and Southwellina hispida. The only myxosporean parasite observed was Henneguya sp. (Myxozoa). The results show that the parasite infections were due mainly to the monogenean D. aequans (P% = 96.0). Henneguya sp., Monascus sp., G. lacteum and S. hispida are firstly reported in wild European sea bass.
