Popis:	The objective of this research was to determine the species of cestodes from the Trypanorhyncha order that parasites the Plagioscion squamosissimus Heckel, 1840 (Brazilian common name: Pescada Branca), which are commercialized at fairs from Macapa, Amapa State, Brazil. From March 2008 to December 2008, 80 specimens of P. squamosissimus were submitted to necropsy, from which 63 fish (78.8%) were parasitized by larvae plerocercoids from Trypanorhyncha order. A multiple parasitism of four species, Pterobothrium heteracanthum, Callitetrarhynchus gracilis, Poecilancistrium caryophyllum, Pterobothrium crassicolle was recorded in the musculature of the fish. Larvae plerocercoids from Trypanorhyncha in the musculature do not present any risk of infection for humans, but affect the aesthetics of the fish, for its repulsive aspect, and may be rejected by consumers and often have the commercialization prevented by the sanitary fiscalization. This was the first record of parasites of musculature in fish proceeding from the State of Amapa. KEYWORDS: Amapa, fish, Trypanorhyncha.
