Commercially important fish in Tabasco, Mexico have been naturally infested with pentastomid parasite. The present research the morphology show information about the ecological indexes of infection of the larvae in three species of fish of commercial importance. The fish under study are mojarra, which are of alimentary interest such as Parachromis managuensis, Petenia splendida and Gobiomorus dormitor. A total of 30 pentastomid larvae were registered. The highest prevalence in these fish was in G. dormitor 30% and 35%, during the year 2005 and 2015. The prevalence by pentastomid larvae has increased in the studied species, therefore, avoiding the consumption of raw fish in different dishes is recommended, and it is proposed to the health sector to establish caution measures in order to avoid infection to humans by this larvae.
