AB  - The infection status with Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) was examined 
      in freshwater fishes from Yangcheon (a branch of Gyeongho-gang), which is located 
      in Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, the Republic of Korea. Total 2,201 fishes in 
      26 species were examined by the artificial digestion method through 7 years. CsMc 
      were detected in 1,171 (53.2%) fishes in 21 spp. (80.8%) and their density was 85 
      per fish infected. Total 532 (99.6%) out of 534 Pungtungia herzi (index fish) 
      examined were infected with 147 CsMc per fish infected. Metacercarial densities 
      in this fish were highest in 2015 (179 CsMc), followed by 2012 (168), 2013 (152), 
      2016 (145), 2014 (114), and 2017 (89) respectively. In the gobioninid fish group, 
      i.e., P. herzi, Sarcocheilichthys spp., Squalidus spp., Pseudogobio esocinus, 
      Hemibarbus longirostris, and Hemibarbus labeo, 841 (92.7%) fishes were infected 
      with 117 CsMc per fish infected. Total 250 (54.7%) acheilognathinid fish 
      (bitterlings), Acheilognathus spp. and Acanthorhodeus spp. were infected with 5.8 
      CsMc. In the rasborinid fish (chubs) group, i.e., Zacco platypus, Zacco 
      temminckii, and Zacco koreanus, 77 (13.7%) out of 563 fish examined were infected 
      with 2.4 CsMc in average. The susceptibility indices of CsMc were 49.09 in the 
      overall positive fish group, 104.15 in the gobioninid group, 3.17 in the 
      acheilognathinid group and 0.35 in the rasborinid fish group respectively. Only 1 
      CsMc was detected in 3 fish species, Coreoperca herzi, Channa argus, and Lepomis 
      macrochirus, respectively. Conclusively, it was confirmed that CsMc are 
      moderately prevalent in fishes from Yangcheon in Sancheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, 
      Korea.
