Sand gobies were obtained from the bycatch of a commercial shrimp trawler in the Westdiep area, Southern Bight of the North Sea. Prevalence and infection rate of their helminth and crustacean parasites were recorded. Both species, Pomatoschistus minutus and P. lozanoi, are final hosts for Lernaeocera minuta and Asymphylodora demeli. The higher infection rate of A. demeli in P. minutus juveniles may be linked to the food resource partitioning between the goby species. Both species are also intermediate hosts to Bothriocephalus scorpii and Hysterothylacium aduncum, important parasites of commercial fish species. Key-words : Pomatoschistus, parasites, North Sea.
