The presence of Diplostomum sp. was identified in 149 fish specimens, while it was not detected in 43 fish specimens. It was established that the minimum and maximum parasite presence levels ranged from 1 to 209. The fish species with the highest mean parasite density were Chondrostoma regium (19.30), Acanthobrama marmid (14.13), Carasobarbus luteus (13.15), Capoeta trutta (11.5) and Luciobarbus mystaceus (9.71). The study demonstrated that the prevalence of Diplostomum sp. in fish from Atatürk Dam Lake varied according to both region and species.}, number={381}, publisher={Türk Ziraat Yüksek Mühendisleri Birliği}
