Abstract. In fall of 2023, 11 fish species were subjected to parasitological examination (Ictalurus punctatus, Sander lucioperca, Perca fluviatilis, Mugil cephalus, Liza haematocheilus, Cyprinus carpio, Carassius gibelio, Tinca tinca, Abramis brama, Rutilus heckeli, Esox lucius). The material came from the basins of the rivers Kuban and Volga. To date, 7 species of parasites representing 4 nosological groups have been registered, namely: Acanthocephales (Pomphorhynchus laevis); Crustacea (Ergasilus sieboldi, Achtheres percarum); Nematoda (Eustrongylides spp.); Trematoda (Ichthyocotylurus erraticus, Tylodelphys clavata, Bucephalus polymorphys).

Key words: parasite fauna, parasite, infestation, monogenea, trematode, cestode, helminthofauna, crucian carp, perch, fish.
