Abstract
The aim of this study which was carried out from March 2003-February 2004 was to determine the parasites of carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) inhabiting the Kovada Lake. During the study, a total of 63 common carps were caught in different regions of Kovada Lake each month and investigated parasitologically. In carps, the ectoparasite, Dactylogyrus minutus of Monogenea, was found and endoparasites; Bothriocephalus acheilognathi and Caryophyllaeus laticeps of Cestoda were found. The most common parasitic species was Dactylogyrus minutus.
