Ikan cakalang (katsuwonus pelamis) merupakan salah satu sumberdaya perikanan pelagis penting dan merupakan salah satu komoditi ekspor. ikan cakalang sering tertangkap oleh nelayan dan didaratkan di pelabuhan perikanan samudera (pps) kutaradja lampulo. tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi serta menghitung tingkat prevalensi dan intensitas ektoparasit dan endoparasit yang menginfeksi k. pelamis asal perairan utara aceh. penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan agustus sampai oktober 2024. pengambilan sampel dilakukan di pelabuhan perikanan samudera (pps) kutaradja, lampulo. sebanyak 30 individu ikan cakalang diamati dan 23 individu ditemukan terinfeksi parasit. organ yang diamati selama penelitian yaitu insang, usus, lambung dan hati. hasil penelitian ditemukan 8 jenis parasit yang menginfeksi ikan cakalang yaitu didymocystis kamegaii, caligus sp., didymocystis alalongae, tentacularia coryphaenae, didymocylindrus filiformis, didymocylindrus simplex, spinitectus sp., dan didymocystis sp.

Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) is one of the important pelagic fishery resources and is one of the export commodities. Skipjack tuna is often caught by fishermen and landed at the Kutaradja Lampulo Ocean Fisheries Port (PPS). The purpose of this study was to identify and calculate the prevalence and intensity of ectoparasites and endoparasites that infect K. pelamis from the northern waters of Aceh. This study was conducted from August to October 2024. Sampling was carried out at the Kutaradja Ocean Fisheries Port (PPS), Lampulo. A total of 30 skipjack tuna individuals were observed and 23 individuals were found to be infected with parasites. The organs observed during the study were the gills, intestines, stomach and liver. The results of the study found 8 types of parasites that infect skipjack tuna, namely Didymocystis kamegaii, Caligus sp., Didymocystis alalongae, Tentacularia coryphaenae, Didymocylindrus filiformis, Didymocylindrus simplex, Spinitectus sp., and Didymocystis sp.
