Abstract

During the implementation of the current research entitled “Study of diet, growth, reproduction, and determination of the concentrations of some trace elements in Alosa fallax (Lacépède, 1803) in the marine waters of the Lattakian coast”, we found the parasite Glugea sp. inside one of the Alosa fallax caught on 7/24/2023 AD from the Ras Al-Baseet area (35.8524° N, 35.8378° E) using Purse nets. Infection with the parasite Glugea sp. In colonies of yellowish-white masses over the digestive system and muscles. The anatomical and histological characteristics were consistent with scientific references, and this is the first record of the parasite Glugea sp. in the Syrian marine waters and the eastern Mediterranean.
