Abstract: This study was performed to determine the types and effect of endoparasites on fish Saurida undosquamis, Brushtooth lizardfish in Kuala Terengganu Coastal Water. This project was conducted in Biodiversity Laboratory at University Malaysia Terengganu. The fish samples have been collected from Fish Landing Port at Pulau Kambing from July to November 2006. The sample have been brought to the laboratory, dissected, fixed, stained and mounted in the glass slide using scientific methods. In this study, prevalence and mean intensity of parasites that infected the fish have been calculated. Prevalence value for nematode is 54, digenea 45.9 and Trypanorhyncha 13.1. The value of mean intensity for nematode is 3.2, digenea 2.9 and Trypanorhyncha larvae 2.1. According to the collected data and the result obtained through the experiment, there are 3 species of parasites that affect the host, Saurida undosquamis. Those parasites were Digenea (Sterrhurus sp), Nematode and Trypanorhyncha larvae. All the parasites were mounted on the glass slide for further references.
