This study was conducted to detect the causative agents of skin ulceration inponds carp fish in Sulaimani province. Samples were taken from 5ponds of commoncarp fish (Cyprinus Carpio L.) from different regions in Sulaimani province haveulcerated skin lesion .These pounds are available in Kfry, Kanarwe, Chwarta and 2ponds in Dukan.The results of the study revealed that the main causative agent of the skinulceration was a bacterial infection and the main bacterial species were 9 species thatwere isolated from skin lesion, which were the following bacteria (Pseudomonas spp,Citrobacter freundii, Citrobacter amalonaticus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Yarsinakrestensia, Serratia odorifera, Escherichia coli, Proteus volgaris and Edwardsiellatarda).The high isolated bacterial prevalence in this study were Pseudomonas sps andCitrobacter freundii (19.35%) which have been isolated from 2 ponds. The rate ofisolated Edwardsiella tarda was (12.89 %),while the rate of Proteus volgaris Proteusvolgaris, E.coli and Yarsina Kerstenia were isolated separately with the same ratio9.66 % .Citrobacter amalonaticus, Enterobacter aerogenes and Serratia odoriferawere isolated with the same ratio 6.44% from the skin lesion.There was only one complicated case (bacterial infection with parasite) theparasite was protozoan (Chilodonella cyprinii).
