A checklist of digenetic trematodes of fishes (both freshwater, brackish and marine) from Kerala is prepared on the basis of scientific articles published during the period from 1970 to 2022. To date, 94 species (72 adults and 22 metacercariae) belonging to 26 families and 62 genera were documented. The largest Family reported here is Hemiuridae under which ten genera and 23 species have been documented. For each parasite species, information is provided on the host(s), developmental stage(s), site(s) of infection, geographical locality (-ies) and the published source(s). Available illustrations have also been presented. 'Keys to the Trematoda' Volumes 1 to 3 are followed for presenting taxonomic status. The checklist forms the first complete listing of digenetic trematodes infecting marine, brackish and freshwater fishes of Kerala, India. The current effort meets the demand for a checklist on diverse trematode fauna parasitizing fishes of Kerala which will be helpful to future researchers working on fish parasites.
基于1970年至2022年期间发表的科学文章，编制了一份来自喀拉拉邦的鱼类（包括淡水、咸淡水和海洋鱼类）复殖吸虫清单。迄今为止，已记录了属于26个科62个属的94个物种（72个成虫和22个尾蚴）。这里报道的最大的科是半尾科，已记录了该科下的10个属和23个物种。对于每个寄生虫物种，都提供了关于宿主、发育阶段、感染部位、地理区域和已发表来源的信息。还展示了现有的插图。分类地位的呈现遵循《吸虫纲检索表》第1至3卷。该清单构成了印度喀拉拉邦感染海洋、咸淡水和淡水鱼类的复殖吸虫的第一份完整清单。目前的工作满足了对喀拉拉邦寄生在鱼类上的各种吸虫动物群清单的需求，这将有助于未来研究鱼类寄生虫的研究人员。
