“…Relatively higher veracity in males particularly during the competition for food may increase the frequency of contact with the parasites, thereby increasing the chances of infection (Emere, 2000). Current observation is consistent with the reports of Anosike et al (1992) and Omeji (2013) who observed more parasite infestation in male fish than the female. The observation is however at variance with that of (Emere and Egbe, 2006) and Dankishiya et al (2013) who reported higher intensity of helminth parasites in the gastrointestinal tract of female wild African sharp tooth catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in Gwagwalada of Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria than the male counterparts.…”

Comparative Bioaccumulation of PAH and BTEX in Malapterurus electricus (Siluriformes: Malapteruridae) and its Enteric Parasite, Electrotaenia malopteruri Sampled from Lekki Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria

Contamination of Lekki lagoon by petrogenic chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) has been widely reported. The study was aimed at investigating the bioaccumulation of PAH and BTEX in Malapterurus electricus collected from Lekki lagoon in Lagos, Nigeria. BTEX was analyzed in the intestine, water, and sediment samples using 8260B Agilent 7890B gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). While PAHs were tested in the same media using a gas chromatograph coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). Histopathological analysis of the fish intestine was conducted using haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stains. Parasite intensity, antioxidant enzymes, and lipid peroxidation activities were investigated in the fish. The parasitic infection detected in Malapterurus electricus was Electrotaenia malopteruri. The parasite showed weak and no depurative capacities for BTEX and PAH respectively. The decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and reduced glutathione (GSH) in conjunction with an increase in Malondialdehyde (MDA) characterized relatively higher susceptibility among the male fish. Varieties of tissue injuries increased with the standard length of the fish groups. Results suggest that lengthier and uninfected M. electricus were more susceptible to PAH in Lekki lagoon than the shorter and infected ones. The study demonstrated a promising tendency of the enteric parasite, E. malopteruri to depurate chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m+p-xylene, and 1,4-dichlorobenzene from the intestine of its host fish, M. electricus, while PAHs were poorly mediated by the parasite.

“…This also, likely suggested the absence of infective organisms in the type of diet of the fish while it is young. In addition, Onwuliri and Mbgemena (1989), Folstad and Karter (1992), Emere (2000) and Omeji et al (2013) observed that heavier fish…”

Background: Carangidae is a family of ray-finned fish within the order Carangiformes which are invaded by different parasite species and the rate of parasitism changed regarding different factors. This study aimed to provide information about the relationship between fish size and sex on the parasites that infect fish within the family Carangidae in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A total of 90 Carangoides caeruleopinnatus specimens were collected from the Red Sea. The size of the fish was taken in grams (for weights) and centimeters (for lengths), respectively, as well as fish sex was determined. Fish organs were examined for parasitic infection. Result: There is a relationship between the length, weight and sex of fish hosts on the incidence of parasitic infection in the examined fish. Larger fish size is heavily parasitized than smaller ones which provide a greater surface for infection. In addition, the mean weight of uninfected samples was considerably higher than infected which suggested a weight loss because of parasitic infection. Parasitism in fish has been reported to be sex-biased, with males suffering greater susceptibility than female fish. This study reflects the rate of parasitism in the coastal trevally, Carangoides caeruleopinnatus, concerning fish length as well as their sex.

Water quality is one of crucial things in aquaculture. Water quality has varied effects to animals health that cause disease. One of diseases events that can occur in aquaculture farms is endoparasite infestation. The study investigated the endoparasite affecting farmed Red Hybrid Tilapia, Oreochromis sp. in four different locations in Sarawak, Malaysia. Hundred and twenty farmed Red Hybrid Tilapia were randomly sampled out in this study throughout June to December 2022 from four different district (Kuching, Miri, Mukah and Sibu). This study included different types of Jish farms; earthen pond, concrete pond, and Jish cage. Water quality parameters for four ponds were evaluated in situ using multiprobe and ex situ, in the laboratory. The result shows high concentration of nutrient, phosphate phosphorus, nitrite nitrogen and total ammonium nitrogen recorded from concrete pond in Miri. Endoparasite analysis revealed 18.3% of digenean trematode found in stomach and intestine of farmed Red Hybrid Tilapia in the earthen pond of Kuching. The Jinding suggests variable relationship between water quality and endoparasite infestation. Different water quality and Jish farm surrounding might cause the presence and absent of endoparasite infestation in farmed Red Hybrid Tilapia. The Jinding suggests variable relationship between water quality and endoparasite infestation.
