AB  - The infection status of Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) was examined in 
      freshwater fish from a highly prevalent site, Wicheon (a branch of Nakdong-gang), 
      which is located in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, the Republic of Korea. Total 
      1,162 fish in 32 species were examined by the artificial digestion method through 
      6 years. CsMc were detected in 720 (67.5%) out of 1,067 fish (26 spp.) and their 
      density was 610 per fish infected. In the susceptible gobioninid fish group, 
      i.e., Pungtungia herzi, Squalidus gracilis majimae, Squalidus japonicus coreanus, 
      Sarcocheilichthys variegatus wakiyae and Pseudorasbora parva, all of 323 fish 
      were infected with an average of 1,310 CsMc. Total 23 (95.8%) gobioninid fish, 
      i.e., Pseudogobio esocinus, Abbottina springeri, Hemibarbus longirostris, 
      Microphysogobio koreensis, and Microphysogobio jeoni, were infected with 127 CsMc 
      in average. In the acheilognathinid fish (bitterlings) group, the prevalence was 
      77.0%, and the density was 50 CsMc per fish infected. In the rasborinid fish 
      (chubs) group, i.e., Zacco platypus, Zacco temminckii, Zacco koreanus, and 
      Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis, 147 (36.5%) out of 403 fish examined were 
      infected with 15 CsMc in average. The susceptibility indices of CsMc were 412 in 
      the overall positive fish group, 1,310 in the gobioninid group-1, 122 in the 
      gobioninid group-2, 38.5 in the acheilognathinid group, and 5.5 in the rasborinid 
      fish group. Conclusively, it was confirmed that CsMc are highly prevalent in fish 
      from Wicheon, and their infection tendency varied according to the subfamily 
      groups in Cyprinidae fish hosts.
