This is the first assessment of the occurrence of A. pegreffii in imported Z. faber from the Senegalese coast in Turkish supermarkets. Moreover, consuming imported P. prayensis and P. caeruleostictus present low to non-existent risk for anisakiasis in Turkish consumers. Furthermore, the presence of A. pegreffii larvae in imported Z. faber from the Senegal waters could have public health implications in Turkish consumers.
