Abstract: This study was conducted to identify endoparasites that infected Eupeneus japonicus from marine coastal waters of Terengganu. This study was done at two different season, pre-monsoon and monsoon season. A number of 120 samples of fish were bought from Fish Landing Port at Pulau kambing during pre-monsoon season (August - November) and Monsoon season (Disember-January) with sixty samples of fish at both seasons. Fish samples were examined to determine the prevalence and mean intensity of the endoparasites found. During the study, there were 4 species of endoparasites found: 2 species from class nematode (Contracaecum sp. and Camallanus sp.); one species from class trematode (Allocreadium sp.); and one species from class Arachnida, from family Hydracarina. The infestation levels for E. japonicus during monsoon season was higher compared to pre-monsoon season. There was probably a significant difference for the prevalence and mean intensity for pre-monsoon and monsoon season (p<0.05). The infestation level of endoparasites for monsoon season was four times higher compared to pre-monsoon season.
