Sumario:The present work demonstrated the presence of Diplostomum sp (Digenea) in corvina (Plagioscion squamosissimus Heckel, 1840) from the Volta Grande Reservoir (MG). Prevalence, intensity and seasonality in the natural conditions were evaluated. Fishes were bimonthly collected with the aid of a net, during the period of December 1995 through December 1996. Thirty one out of sixty eight fishes were parasitized in the eyes. The prevalence was 45,6% and the mean number of parasites was 13 varying from 1 to 34.
