Abstract
Nine species of parasitic copepods were registered from fishes in Ptich’e Lake. The two-layer stratification of salinity in the lake provided the coexistence of two types of fauna parasitic copepods. Only one species (Ergasilus wilsoni) was registered in the upper layer of Ptich’e Lake (brackish water). Eight marine species from the families Chondracanthidae and Caligidae were registered in the bottom layer with a marine salinity.
