Monogeneans are a group of great importance at the sanitary level in aquaculture, many of which are difficult to control, which leads to significant economic losses in the aquaculture sector. In recent years, various species of monogeneans have been reported affecting Amazonian fish, however, there are still few studies focused on the identification, description and study of these, which represents an obstacle in the development of fish farming in this region. Based on the above, the present investigation was carried out with the objective of taxonomically identifying the monogenean species that parasitize the gills of commercially important Amazonian fish Among the monogenean species, 13 genera and 34 species were identified. Of the total parasites identified, 68% corresponded to the Characiformes Order, followed by Siluriformes with 26% and finally Perciformes with 6%. Likewise, 41% belonged to species of the genus Anacanthorus. On the other hand, the largest number of parasitic species found according to host, were found in the species Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus corresponding to the order Siluriformes with 5 reported species. The high diversity of monogenoid species constitutes a challenge for aquaculture health in the Amazon, being the basis for the development of studies that allow knowing the mechanisms for prevention and control, thus contributing to the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Peruvian Amazon.
