The demand for fish such as Hoplerithrinus unitaeniatus represents 4% of the species landed in the port of Loreto in the city of Iquitos. The objective of the work was to identify and evaluate the load of endoparasites found in H. unitaeniatus, from the city of Iquitos. The musculature and abdominal cavity of 60 specimens of H. Unitaeniatus will be obtained during the months of January and February of the year 2022 in three different markets of Iquitos. The parasites were washed in saline solution and fixed in 70% alcohol. Using a contrast microscope, the following parasites were identified: Clinostomum sp, Ithioclinostomum dimorphum, Sebekia sp and Eustrongylides sp. Also, the calculation of parasite indices (frequency, mean intensity and abundance) was performed. For this study Clinostomum sp and Ithioclinostomum dimorphum were the most predominant with a prevalence of 60% and 51.67% respectively. The species Eustringylides sp had the lowest percentage of infestation with 11.67%. However, it was the largest parasite with a length of 6 – 7 cm. Sebekia sp had an infestation of 23.33% and a mean intensity of 4.34 parasites/animal. By means of the Kruskal-wallis test (H) and U de Mann Whitney test (U) no difference was found between the parasite abundance and the market of origin (H) (p = 0.4344) neither between the sex of the host (U) (p = 0.06832). Likewise, by means of the Spearman test, a statistically significant correlation between the length and weight of H. unitaeniatus with the parasite abundance was not decreased (Length: r = -0.2308, p=0.07596 and weight: r = -0.2193, p = 0.09214). In the present study Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus is a new host for Clinostomum sp and Sebekia sp in the Amazon region of Peru.
