Sažetak
Buccal cavities of bogues (Boops boops L.) and picarels (Spicara smaris L.), caught near the town Novi Vinodolski (Velebit Channel, Croatia), were examined for the presence of crustacean parasite Ceratothoa oestroides. Sampling was carried once monthly during the period from June to September 2003. The parasite was found in five of 39 bogues (prevalence = 12.82%) and in 17 of picarels (prevalence - P = 10.43%), or totally in 22 fish (P = 10.89%). P was somewhat higher during the first three months. A statistically minimal correlation was found between the fish length and the length of the parasite.
