The Danube River is one of the largest and most important transnational river systems in Europe, playing a decisive role in maintaining ecological balance, preserving biodiversity, and supporting the development of fisheries. The Ukrainian part of the Danube Delta, owing to its favorable hydrological and hydrochemical conditions, is distinguished by a rich ichthyofaunal composition, with commercial fish species accounting for a significant share. At the same time, modern fish populations of the region are subject to numerous natural and anthropogenic factors that adversely affect their condition. These include climate change, anthropogenic pressure, environmental pollution, and parasitic infestations. Fish parasites are an integral component of aquatic ecosystems, forming a complex system of interactions between hosts and their environment. They not only influence the physiological state and productivity of fish, but also serve as bioindicators, reflecting the quality of the aquatic environment as well as the ecological conditions of feeding and migration. The study of parasite communities in ichthyofauna has become especially relevant under conditions of intensive industrial and recreational use of aquatic resources in the Ukrainian stretch of the Danube. Consequently, parasitological research holds not only scientific but also applied significance for fisheries, veterinary and sanitary control, and public health.
