The benedeniine monogenean Benedenia derzhabini (Layman, 1930) Meserve, 1938 from cultured Korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli, is described and reported for the first time in Korea. The parasite was recovered from the gills and inner wall of operculum. B. derzhavini is distinguished from B. seriolae and B. sebastodis by the relative shape and length between the accessory sclerites and the hamuli.
