Abstract
This study is to be the first report and new host record of segmented worms in the family Piscicolidae, Trachelobdella lubrica parasitizing Sparus aurata off the coasts of Algeria. Sparus aurata constitutes new host record for Trachelobdella lubrica. 05 specimens of Sparus aurata were examined for their leech parasites. A single specimen of leech species was recovered from the gills of Sparus aurata. Typical characters allowed us to classify the leech as Trachelobdella lubrica.
