Abstract
The gills of seven black rockfish, Sebastes melanops collected from Hatfield Marine Science Center Aquarium during September 19-October 3,2001 were examined for parasites attached to the gills. The species of Sebastes melanops were Microcotyle sebastis baled on the number of clamps and testes. The prevalence of 42.9％ was recorded for host and fourteen worms of three black rockfish were recovered. Mean intensity of infection of Microcotyle sebastis individuals per infected host for black rockfish was 2.0(range 1-11). Monogenea helminth sites were mainly consist of second and third gill arch's filaments of black rockfish. The results revealed that surface area of the 2nd and 3rd pair of gills might affect the distribution of Microcotyle sebastis.
