In the years 1999-2002, first studies were carried out on the metazoan parasites of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) recently reintroduced into the Elbe River drainage system, after more than 50 years after the complete extinction of the Elbe salmon population. A total of six helminth species were recorded from salmon smolts from three streams where S. salar fingerlings have been released since 1998: Gyrodactylus truttae, Crepidostomum metoecus, Diplostomum spathaceum metacercariae, Raphidascaris acus adults and encapsulated larvae, Cystidicoloides ephemeridarum, and Neoechinorhynchus rutili. Except for D. spathaceum, all these freshwater parasites have been received from the helminth fauna of the co-habiting brown trout (Salmo trutta fario L.). Three helminth parasites of marine origin, the cestodes Eubothrium crassum and Scolex pleuronectis plerocercoids, and the nematode Anisakis simplex larvae were found in a single examined adult S. salar.
