Abstract
Metacercariae of Apophallus donicus (Skrjabin et Lindtrop, 1919) Price, 1931 and of A. muehlingi (Jägerskiöld, 1899) Lühe, 1909 were found in fishes of Szczecin Firth and Dąbie lake, as a new parasitic fauna of Poland. It was established that A. donicus and A. muehlingi are specific to perches and cyprinids, respectively. Detailed description and comparison of both species obtained from various hosts are given.
