The objective of the present study was to identify the taxa of the endoparasitic fauna, as well as their frequency, intensity, abundance and affected organs in Plagioscion squamosissimus (Silver croaker) from four markets in the city of Iquitos - Peru. Sixty specimens of P. squamosissimus were examined through observation, search, and direct identification. Eyes, skin, muscle, and viscera were studied for endoparasites. Nematoda larvae were identified corresponding to: Hysterothylacium sp. and Spiroxys sp. in eyes, Contracaecum sp. and Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) inopinatus (adult) in intestine, Anisakis larva type 1 and Pseudoterranova sp. in coelomic cavity and intestine, and a species of acanthocephalan Rhadinorhynchus plagioscionis in pyloric caecae. Parasitic indices (frequency, intensity, mean intensity and mean abundance) and the correlation of fish size and weight with parasitic abundance were also calculated. It is concluded that the endoparasitic fauna present in P. squamosissimus is mostly composed of nematode species, with a high diversity of species in specimens from the natural environment.
