The paper records the prevalence of two major groups of protozoan fish parasites, viz., myxozoans (Myxozoa : Myxosporea : Bivalvulida) and trichodinids (Ciliophora : Mobilina : Trichodinidae) in pure and hybrid carps reared in three pisciculture ponds at Jhalda in Purulia, West Bengal. It has been revealed that infection rate was remarkably higher in hybrid carps. Monthly prevalence of these parasites obtained during the study period along with month-wise analysis of physical and chemical environmental parameters of pond water have also been incorporated.

Abstract


The paper records the prevalence of two major groups of protozoan fish parasites, viz., myxozoans (Myxozoa : Myxosporea : Bivalvulida) and trichodinids (Ciliophora : Mobilina : Trichodinidae) in pure and hybrid carps reared in three pisciculture ponds at Jhalda in Purulia, West Bengal. It has been revealed that infection rate was remarkably higher in hybrid carps. Monthly prevalence of these parasites obtained during the study period along with month-wise analysis of physical and chemical environmental parameters of pond water have also been incorporated.
