Mycoses Infection in Some Fresh Water Carps of Tarai Region of Balrampur
Keywords:
Fungal diseases, Indigenous carps, Prevalence, Fish cultureAbstract
Fungal infection (Mycoses) are one of the most common deceases found in all fishery ponds because spores of aquatic molds are found in fresh waterbodies and create stress in the cultured fishes. The objective of the present research work was to examine the fungal infection in the indigenous carps viz. Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Labeo calbasu and Cirrhinus mrigala. These fishes were collected from fresh waterbodies of Balrampur during July, 2019 to June, 2020. The result of present investigation revealed that (i) about 30% indigenous carps inhabiting in the local waterbodies of Balrampur were infected with fungal diseases (ii) the intensity of fungal infection varies from host to host, species to species and season to season and (iii) Achlya sp., Aspergillus sp., Allomyces sp., and Saprolegnia sp. were found to be virulent for indigenous carps.
