Abstract :Anisakis pegreffii and A. simplex sensu stricto insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(s.s.); are the main etiological agents causing human anisakiasis. Here, we aimed to investigate based on the pepsin digestion method of the occurrence of Anisakis larvae in imported deep-frozen whole Atlantic mackerel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Scomber scombrus); from FAO 27 to Turkey and smoked Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon fillets insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Salmo salar); between 2018 and 2019. A total of 100 whole Atlantic mackerel and 180 Atlantic salmon fillets were randomly sampled from local Turkish supermarkets. No Anisakis larvae were detected in smoked Atlantic salmon fillets. In total, 827 Anisakis larvae were found in mackerel, and the prevalence was 68% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(68/100);. The mI and mA of Anisakis larvae in mackerel were 13.1 and 8.2, respectively. Whereas the 95.28% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(788/827); of the Anisakis larvae were found in abdominal cavity/viscera, the 4.72 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(39/827); of the larvae in the muscle. The prevalence and mI of Anisakis larvae in the abdominal cavity/viscera and muscle of mackerel was 63.0% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(63/100); and 42.0% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(42/100);, and 12.5 and 0.9, respectively. The subsample of 100 larvae was molecularly identified by ITS RFLP patterns. The 99 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(99.0%); larvae were identified as A. simplex insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(s.s.);, and 1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.0%); larva was A. pegreffii. Consequently, there is low or no risk of anisakiasis in smoked farmed Atlantic salmon for Turkish consumers. The 42.0% prevalence of zoonotic Anisakis species larvae in imported Atlantic mackerel fillets could have public health risk in Turkish consumers for anisakiasis or allergy.
