This study concentrated on the assessment of the prevailing parasitic fish diseases in some marine fishes at Ismailia province and how to control the infestation using microalgae. This study was carried out on 1080 pre-mature fish (360 D. labrax (225±25 g) and 360 S aurata (150±25 g) and 360 M. cephalus (125±25 g) collected from similar ponds of studies to be examined at the end of treatment. In addition to that we followed non-treated fish (1080 premature). The infested fish showed dark colour and respiratory signs. Post mortem lesions were a presence of congestion or paleness and destruction of gill filaments. The total prevalence of infestation was the total prevalence of parasitic infection of non-treated fishes was 45.83 %. The highest percentage was in D. labrax 56.94 % followed by S. aurata 47.22%, the lowest percentage in M. cephalus 33.33. The total prevalence of parasitic infection in premature treated with 2 g algae was 28.79%, followed by 3 g algae was 23.60 %, while the lowest percentage with 5 g algae was 20.37 % respectively. The detected species of parasites were protozoal parasites, Amyloodinium ocellatum and Riboscyphidia in additions of marine monogenea, Lamellodiscus diplodicus isolated from D Labrex, Mugil Cephalus and S aurata. The present study concluded that, the use of microalgae instead of fish meal decreased parasitic infestation in marine fish. The histopathological alteration of natural infested examined fishes was also recorded.

Albionella kabatai sp.nov. (Lernaeopodidae: Siphonostomatoida) is described from a single ovigerous female found on a fin of the spatulasnout cat shark (Apristurus platyrhynchus) in the Sea of Kumano (Pacific side of middle Japan). Albionella kabatai sp.nov. is uniquely distinguished from its five congeners by its relatively small caudal rami, each with three relatively long spiniform setae and by its mandibular tooth formula (P1, S1, P1, S1, P1 S1, B3).
