This study investigated the prevalence, morphomolecular characterization, environmental drivers, and eco-friendly control of naturally occurring monogenean infections in European sea bass (\n                    <jats:italic>Dicentrarchus labrax<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) from two marine farms along the Egyptian Mediterranean coast between February and May 2024. Infected fish exhibited respiratory distress, skin darkening, anorexia, and progressive emaciation under heavy infestation. Examination of gill smears identified an elongate-oval monogenean exhibiting morphological features consistent with\n                    <jats:italic>D. laubieri<\/jats:italic>\n                    .

Parasitological indices varied significantly between farms, with a higher prevalence recorded at Farm 2 (75.00\u2009\u00b1\u20096.87%) than at Farm 1 (65.56\u2009\u00b1\u20097.51%) (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Seasonally, the highest prevalence occurred in February, followed by a decline in April and a slight increase in May. Water quality analysis indicated a progressive rise in temperature on both farms, reaching 25.40\u2009\u00b1\u20090.16\u00a0\u00b0C in May. In contrast, Farm 2 was characterized by higher salinity, pH, and total ammonia levels, together with lower dissolved oxygen concentrations. Correlation analysis demonstrated a strong negative association between parasite prevalence and water temperature (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.736,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.05), whereas no significant correlations were observed with salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, or total ammonia.

The experimental cohabitation successfully reproduced the infection, achieving a prevalence of 90% by day 14.
