Özet
Ligula intestinalis was found during the parasitological investigations of Pseudorasbora parva specimens collected from Hirfanli Dam Lake, Turkey. It was found that 8.78% of all specimens were infected with L. intestinalis including 17 female (3.8%) and 22 males (4.95%). It was determined that the length-weight relationship equivalents of infected individuals with population differed from those of non-infected individuals. The b value of the infected individuals was found to be lower than the b value of the non-infected individuals. It is thought that the results obtained in this study will be beneficial in preserving and improving the ecological potential of the lake.
