Résumé

In aquaculture, the crustaceans are classified among the most dreadful parasites due to their high potential contamination hazards. Some parasitic copepods are responsible for a massive mortality of stocks, however, there has been a lack of knowledge on the Algerian freshwater fish. Therefore, the present work aimed to study the infestation of copepod ectoparasites of 499 fish, including 257 individuals of Luciobarbus callensis (Valencienne ,1842) and 242 of Carassius carassius (Linnaeus, 1758) species found in Beni Haroun Dam (Mila, Algeria). The fish were subjected to some morphometric measurements, and thereby, a gill dissection was measured, harvested, preserved and identified, as well the parasitic indices were calculated. The effect of some parameters (size, sex season, and microhabitat) on the parasite infestation was tested by using
