AB  - The prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) was examined in 
      freshwater fish from the water systems of Seomjin-gang (River), the Republic of 
      Korea. Total 1,604 fish from 7 local sites of Seomjin-gang were examined by 
      artificial digestion methods. The metacercariae of C. sinensis were detected in 
      102 (39.8%) out of 256 fish (14 species) from the upper reaches of Seomjin-gang, 
      i.e., Osucheon (22.3% in 6 fish species) in Imsil-gun, and Seomjin-gang (63.9% in 
      9 fish species) in Sunchang-gun, Jeollabuk-do. Their average density was 9.0 per 
      infected fish. They were also found in 132 (48.0%) out of 275 fish (12 spp.) from 
      the middle reaches of Seomjin-gang, i.e., Songdaecheon (58.9% in 4 fish species) 
      in Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do, and Seomjin-gang (45.2% in 10 fish species) in 
      Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do. Their average density was 21.0 per infected fish. 
      CsMc were detected in 77 (56.6%) out of 136 fish (11 species) from the lower 
      reaches of Seomjin-gang, i.e., Seomjin-gang (73.3% in 11 fish species) in 
      Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, and Namsancheon (8.6% in 1 fish species) in Hadong-gun, 
      Gyeongsangnam-do. Their average density was 64.9 per infected fish. The 
      metacercariae of Metorchis orientalis were also detected in 6 fish species from 4 
      sites of Seomjin-gang. Conclusively, it has been confirmed that CsMc are more or 
      less prevalent in fish from some water systems of Seomjin-gang in Korea.
