This research aims to identify and determine the prevalence and intensity of nematode endoparasites that infected to Asian swamp eel (M. albus). Three hundred asian swamp eel (30-110 cm length and 29,8-60 g weight) were collected from five traditional market in Banyuwangi district (Banyuwangi City, Srono, Cluring, Rogojampi and Genteng).
