AB  - The prevalence of anisakid larvae in maricultured sea fish sold in Guangzhou, China were investigated in November 2006. A total of 208 individuals representing 48 fish species were obtained from a wholesale market. They were examined for the presence of anisakid larvae by examination of the viscera and whole body cavity. Eight species of fish (16.7, 8/48), namely Pseudosciaena crocea, <I>Muraenesox cinereus</I>, <I>Evynnis cardinalis</I>, <I>Plectorhynchus diagrammus</I>, <I>Scomberomorus koreanus</I>, <I>Plectorhynchus nigrus</I>, <I>Nemipterus virgatus</I> and<I> Siganus fuscescens</I>, were found to be infected with anisakid larvae, with an overall infection rate of 7.7% (16/208). The results of present investigation demonstrated the risk of human infection with anisakid larvae in Guangzhou, China, which have implications for implementing control strategies against anisakid infection in human in China.
