The purpose of this study was to identify the component of the community of metazoan parasites in Mugil curema representative for its commercial value for the zone of Túxpan, Veracruz, Mexico. The analysis was carried out in the collection of 131 individuals between April 2022 and May 2023, of which 59.54% were females and 40.45% were males and with a sex ratio of 0.679:1. The most significant stage was the immature stage for the drought/season with 6 parasitized hosts, for the cold wind season 15 fish infected with some type of parasite and for the rainy season 9 infected. The average total length (TL) for males was of 31. 65 ± 8.08 cm, and the average weight of 315.86 ± 202.81 g and for females the LT was of 34.32 ± 6.56 cm and the weight of 373.20 ± 213.93 g. A richness of 6 parasite species was recorded, of which 4 were ectoparasites (Dicrogaster sp., Caligus sp., Ergasilus sp. and Benedenia sp.) and 2 endoparasites (Floridosentis mugilis and Contracaecum sp.).
