The study was conducted to collect and identify endo-parasites of fresh water
fishes from water bodies of Sina Kolegoan Dam in Dist. Osmanabad (M.S) and to
determine the prevalence and intensity of infestation brought about by the
endoparasites in the hosts. The host fishes were collected from fresh water Sina
Kolegoan Dam. The prevalence of endo-parasites in the fresh water fisheswas
30.38%. The intensities of infestation was2.6. Five parasite species were found
from Masacembelusarmatus and channagachua fishes. The parasite groups were
Cestodes (Senga sp., Circumoncobothrium sp.),trematodes(Azygia sp.)nematodes
(Procamallanussp.) werefound in the fishes collected from Sina Kolegoan Dam.
Liver, Air bladder, stomach, intestine and body cavity of the host fishes
wereexamined for parasites.The intensity and the prevalence were higher inhost
fishes collected from Sina Kolegoan Dam host fishes. |
