In this study, the sea basses obtained from the fish farms in Bodrum province have been examined for parasites. Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851, Caligus minimus Otto, 1821, Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826) were found as parasitic copepods. L. kroyeri were found as one of the most important parasites well adapted to attachment to the gill filaments of sea bass. The morphological characteristics of Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851 were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. The appendages and mouthparts of the parasite are illustrated.
