Parasitic nematodesnot only cause disease ofmarine fishandreduce fish production but also spread to humansand cause disease. The results of research on fauna, biology, ecology of the parasitic nematodes in marine fishes are the premise for the prevention of parasitic nematode diseases in aquaculture and medicine. This paper was the first documented case of parasitic infection and composition of parasitic nematodes in some coastal marine fish of Quang Binh province. A total of 240 fish individuals of 40 species, 26 families, 8 orders collected from the coastal of Quang Binh province were examined for nematodes. Of these, 93 (38.75%) fish were infected with nematodes with the intensity ranged from 1 to 148 nematodes/ fish. Fifteen nematode species of 3 orders, 6 families, 11 genus were identified by morphology, adding 4 species to thefauna of Vietnam and six new fish host species of these nematode species..
