Zenith Ng, W. Nimai

Abstract :

Manipur has diversified fish species and like all other verteates they do harbour a number of endo–parasites. To study the prevalence of endo–parasites, 300 fishes of both sexes and various ages were examined in different localities of Langthabal area from July, 2012 to June, 2014. Of them, 201 fishes were infested with one or more species of endo–parasites. The parasite fauna in the present study comprises a total of four different helminth parasites, three genera of trematode and one genus each of cestode, nematode and acanthocephalan. Among these, Procamallanus spp. was the most common. The present study suggests that endo–parasitic infestation is very common in the fishes of Langthabal region. The descriptions, dimensions and also the site of infestations of the parasites are given.
