Abstract
The present work describes myxozoan parasite found in the skin of cultured snakehead, Channa argus fingerings (total length, 5.5~7.2 cm) from Busan, Korea. Nature spores and plasmodia were found in the skin mucus of infected fishes. In fresh state, the total length of the spore was $27.96{\pm}2.50{\mu}m$. The size of spore body was $14.16{\pm}1.78{\mu}m{\times}4.88{\pm}0.61{\mu}m$. The polar capsules were pyriform and the size was $5.57{\pm}0.66{\mu}m{\times}1.36{\pm}0.33{\mu}m$. This is the first report of Henneguya sp. from cultured fish species in Korea, and further studies are necessary for definitive identification.
