Abstract: The study was conducted in some areas of the Albanian part of the shore of Ohrid Lake. Parasitological evaluations were carried out in three sampling stations. In all cases, both during field and laboratory analysis, the parasitological examination was carried out using fresh fish or canned fish, for a cohort, in formalin interval 4%. The largest number of taxonon consisted of Monogonea (7 taxonon or 28% of the total number of taxonon identified). The second group was Nematoda helminths (6 taxonon or 24% of the total number). From the group crushed worms The Ohrid Lake fish cattle had parasites 4 taxonon (16% of the total number). We have found the same degree of representation (from 2 taxonon or 8% of the total number) for Ciliophora monocytes, Digenea typed worms, Acanthocephala poultry and Crustacea arthropods. Squid (Squalius cephalus) was the species of fish that carried the largest number of parasitic species (9 species).
