The purpose of this study was to identify the parasite fauna, particularly the cestode
Trypanorhyncha the order, which affects market value of fish caught in Amazon coastal and
assess the possible impacts on fisheries production industry. We examined 328 samples of
five species of fish: Cynoscion acoupa, Macrodon ancylodon, Plagioscion squanosissimus,
Centropumus undecimalis, Arius Parkeri. It made the measurement of its total length and
weighing fish, filleting in the regions examined body, muscles and serous. The blastocyst,
Trypanorhyncha were removed and sent for laboratory Azevedo Carlos. All species surveyed
were parasitized by Trypanorhyncha, totaling 283 (73.78%) parasitized copies. The species
Callitetrarhynchus gracilis showed higher prevalence parasite. Poecilancistrium
caryophyllum was the most infect the species of fish studied, followed by Pterobothrium
crassicolle and Pterobothrium heteracanthum and Callitetrarhynchus speciosum, infected
Cynoscion acoupa and Arius Parkeri respectively. The regions abdominal muscles and backside
were the most affected.
