The helminthes fauna is collected from body cavity and intestines of 108 specimens of Brachirus orientalis which were obtained from Abadan port (waterfront) and investigated during the years 2009-2010. Most of the 4 species of helminthes were found in the intestine and body cavity of the examined fishes. The helminthes found was composed of 2 digenetic Trematodes (Lepocreadioides zebrine, Allocreadium brachirusii) all adults, in the intestine. The general prevalence of Lepocreadioides zebrini and Allocreadium sp. was in the intestine, 58% and 73% respectively, nematode Hysterothylacium aduncum with a prevalence of 23% was the only cestod Protocephalus sp. with 16%, except Pterobothrium sp., which was reported previously. Most parasite species found in this study have been reported for the first time from Iran and Allocreadium sp. is introduced as a new species and described here.
