Abstract

Croatian market is more and more supplied with imported fish, which are frequently infested with different parasites and their developmental stages. Since certain parasites present a potential risk to human health, constant veterinary-sanitary control of fish and fish products in distribution and sale is of utmost importance. This paper presents results of parasitological examinations of frozen hake (n=143) and redfish (n=384) imported in the Republic of Croatia. Anisakis spp. was found in both hake and redfish (66.4 % and 59.6%, respectively). Furthermore, in total 22.4% of hakes were infested with Kudoa spp. And 20.3 % of redfish with Sphyrion lumpi.
