“…The present findings are nearly similar to observations detected by many authors including (Bichi and Ibrahim, 2009). The overall mean pH values was significantly higher at ponds water this may be due to the increase in pH value in water with high photosynthetic rate and the depletion of carbon dioxide.…”

Abstract:This study was aimed to estimate the prevalence the most common parasites genera infected some freshwater fishes in El-Abbassa, Abu-Hammad, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt with respect to level of water quality in ecosystems. A total of 1828 cultured fish species, represented as 694 Clarias gariepinus, 288 Cyprinus Carpio and 846 Oreochromis niloticus were collected seasonally from October 2015 to September 2017 were macroscopically examined, both externally and internally, for presence of parasites. Microscopic examination then conducted to identify the species. Results indicated that, the total prevalence of parasites among examined fish species representing as the following C. gariepinus˃O. niloticus˃C. Carpio, also can be ordered as the following: summer˃spring˃autumn˃winter. This study investigated that an analysis of fish-parasite fauna is very beneficial as prerequisite for awareness of preemptive and control against parasitic disease. The degrees of interactivity among parasites, as well as parameters of species richness point out that, structures of parasite communities are affected by the water pollutants level.

“…In general, the overall prevalence of 50.00% of parasites observed in this study is comparatively lower than the prevalence of 53.49% and 60.66% documented by Bichi and Ibrahim [26] and Nmor et al [18]. Similarly, the prevalence values obtained in the current study is higher than 15.80%, 20.83%, 29.17% and 38.00% recorded by Oribhabor et al [8], Bekele and Hussien [15], Edeh and Solomon [27], Biu and Akorede [5], respectively.…”

“…Accordingly, results revealed a higher parasite infestation in longer (>30cm) and large sized (500-1000g) fish classes. Similarly, Allumma and Idowu (2011) and Bichi and Ibrahim (2009) have found that larger fish were heavily parasitized than the smaller ones. The prevalence of parasite infection increased with increasing length, size and age of the fish host as it increases their chance of acquiring the parasite infection with time and increased size as well.…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2015 to June 2016 to determine the occurrence of internal and external parasites in wild fish population of Lake Hashenge and identify the causes of the trends in reduction of fish population. A total of 125 randomly selected fish samples comprising 122 (97.6%) Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and 3(2.4%) T. zilli were examined for internal helminthes and external parasites. Overall, 37.6% (47/125) of fish were infested by internal parasites (adults or eggs/larva) while none of them were infested with external parasites. The internal parasites recovered were Clinostomum, Acanthocephalues and Capillaria accounting for 15.2%, 11.2%, and 7.2% of the total infection respectively, while 4% had mixed infection. Moreover, the distribution of parasitic genera were found to be significantly different (p<0.05) with respect to sex, weight, and lengths of the sampled fish, in that females (n=48, 24.8%), fish with body weight 500-1000g (n=89, 30.4%), and length 20-40cm (n=68, 22.4%) were found to be more infected. Most of the respondents (92%) indicated a great reduction in the water and the fish population of the lack from its previous state. All of the respondents have stated that residents of the area wash their clothes in the Lake using synthetic and/or natural detergents and 86% of the respondents believed that Lake Hashenge receives flooding water from nearby uphills and the people use the water from the Lake for small scale irrigation purposes. These findings demand a future focus and stretch of intervention programs for alleviation of the problems facing the Lake before its exhaustion. 76Abreha Tesfaye et al., Ethiop. Vet.
