A total of 263 nematode parasites ( <i>Anguillicoloides crassus </i>) were isolated from the swim bladders of 52 parasitized fish. Parasitological indices were found relatively low. The prevalence was 6.7% and the mean intensity was 5.05. The abundance of <i>A. crassus </i> was also calculated as 0.33 in all sampled eels. </div> <hr /> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <br /> </div>}, number={1}, publisher={Ege University}, organization={Tubitak}
