Abstract
This paper lists 107 fish cestode species belonging to two subclasses, 10 orders, 25 families and 54 genera reported from Chinese freshwater and marine fishes. These species are tabulated together with their fish hosts, distribution in China and Chinese waters, and the publications in which they are recorded.
