The parasitic copepod, Peniculus fistula fistula (Nordmann, 1832) is found on the caudal, ventral, pectoral, dorsal, anal, fins of garfish, Belone belone (Linnaeus, 1760), while Lepeophtheirus acutus (Heegaard, 1943) on the dorsal body surface of common guitarfish, Rhinobatos rhinobatos (Linnaeus, 1758) in the North Aegean Sea, Turkey on 2017. This study presents a new locality as Aegean Sea for Lepeophtheirus acutus (Heegaard, 1943) and a new host as garfish for Peniculus fistula fistula (Nordmann, 1832) in Turkey.
