Based on morphological peculiarities, two myxosporean species, Myxidium gadi and Ceratomyxa merlangi, from the gallbladder content of Whiting Merlangius merlangus inhabiting four sampling localities (Kocaeli, Sinop, Ordu, and Trabzon) along the Black Sea coast of T\u00fcrkiye have been identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Concordant with the morphological data, the first phylogenetic analyses on the nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal DNA confirmed our Myxidium specimens to be M. gadi.

When the infection indices in sampling localities were compared for both parasite species, C. merlangi and M. gadi had the highest infection prevalence values in Sinop samples (66.3%); the highest density of infection (3+) was recorded in Sinop samples for C. merlangi and in Ordu samples for M. gadi.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides the first molecular data on M. gadi and C. merlangi, revealing their phylogenetic positions.
