Abstract
A number of 116 specimens of Platichthys flesus (L.), of the total body length 14.5-28.5 cm, was examined for parasites. The fishes were caught during the spring of 1968 in Szczecin Lagoon in the vicinity of Kamień Pomorski. Thirteen species of parasites were found, including 4 species of digenetic trematodes, 1 species of cestode, 3 species of nematodes and 5 species of acanthocephalans. A total number of 75 fishes, i.e., 65.64%, was infested. There were found 4 species of parasites of marine origin.
