Seasonal variation of Helminth Parasites in Fresh Water Fishes of Sauwan Nallah of Balrampur, U.P., India
Keywords:
Prevalence, Intensity, Density, Cestodes, Trematods, NematodesAbstract
Fresh water fishes carry heavy infection of helminth parasites. Infection of these parasites may be result in poor growth, postpone sexual maturity and mortality of fishes, and cause human and animal diseases. In the present study fish species Channa punctatus , Clarias batrachus and Heteropneustes fossilis were collected from Sauwan Nallah throughout the year to assess the population dynamic of parasites helminth. The result of the present investigation shows that the prevalence, intensity, density and index of helminth parasite infection were highest in summer moderate in winter and minimum in monsoon season. In the present investigation 12 genera belonging to different groups of parasitic helminthes were identified. Out of 12 genera, 4 belong to cestode, 3 to trematods and 5 to nematods. The results indicated that climatic conditions are directly or indirectly influences the intensity of parasitic infection
