This study was carried out on 210 fish, which were 52 Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758), 49 Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843), 53 Lucio barbus mystaceus (Pallas, 1814) and 56 Lucio barbus esocinus (Heckel, 1843), which were hunted in the Keban Dam Lake Çemişgezek Region (4th Region) between July 2016 and December 2016. Three parasite species were encountered in 173 infested fish. After autopsy, two parasite types as Diplostomum sp. in the eyes fluid, Khawia sinensis in the intestine were identified in C. carpio. Two parasite species were identified in C. trutta, L. barbus esocinus and L. barbus mystaceus: Diplostomum sp. in eye fluids and Neoechinorhynchus rutili in their intestines. According to the results, it was determined that Diplostomum sp. was the most dominant parasite species with 73.33% prevalence and 8.97 density in 4 fish species examined. The prevalence rates of other identified parasite species N.rutili and K.sinensis were 40.95% and 15.38%, respectively, and densities were 7.11 and 2.25 respectively.
