“…The length weight relationship of L. rohita showed positive allometric growth which indicate the different growing rate of body part. Rahman and Parween ( 2001 ), Alam et al ( 2006 ) and Rahman et al ( 1998 ) reported comparable parasitic infestations in various freshwater fish species within Bangladesh. A condition factor of 1 indicates that an organism possesses adequate nutrition and is in an environment conducive to its well‐being (Ujjania et al, 2012 ).…”

BackgroundOur investigation focused into Labeo rohita, commonly known as Rui, a freshwater aquatic species in Bangladesh. Despite their nutritional significance, these fish faced a pressing challenge: parasite infections threaten the economic stability of the aquaculture sector.ObjectivesThe present study aimed to investigate the parasite and histological changes in major organs of L. rohita, collected from Khulna region – Dumuria, Paikgacha and Rupsha.MethodsAbout 180 (30/month) specimens were collected between the month of March and August 2023 to observe the parasitic status in L. rohita.ResultsThrough microscopic examination, a total of 323 parasites were uncovered, spanning categories including Cestode, Nematode, Acanthocephala, Trematode and Digenia, predominantly residing in the intestines of L. rohita. The highest prevalence rate (70%) was recorded in both March and May 2023, with peak mean intensity observed in July (3.73). Notably, the highest mean abundance (2.37) exhibited in July and index of infestation (45.34) in June. Histological analysis confirmed parasitic infestations in the gastrointestinal region, with displaying histological changes within major organs such as the liver, kidney, gills, spleen and testicles due to parasitic infection.ConclusionThis study concluded that the indentified six categories of parasite and the affect of parasitic infestation in major organs of L. rohita within the study period. Urgent efforts to implement effective strategies for controlling the parasite infections in aquaculture to ensure the sustainable production of this invaluable fish species.

“…These parasites were found hanging in the intestinal lumen with their scolices attached to the intestinal villi causing severe mechanical damage. Only negligible amount of work has been carried out on this fish from various regions (Rahman et al 1998;Kumar et al 2007;Kadam and Dhole 2011;Fartade et al 2011;Vankara et al 2011;Kumar 2012). The present paper deals with the study of prevalence, mean intensity, mean abundance and index of infection of C. shindei from M. armatus.…”

The freshwater eel, Mastacembelus armatus Lacépède, 1800 is often found infected with adults and larval plerocercoids of the cestode, Circumonchobothrium shindei. The population dynamics of C. shindei was studied in the freshwater eel, M. armatus during September 2005 to August 2007 from Godavari River, Rajahmundry. A total of 494 eels were examined; 184 (37.24 %) were infected with this cestode. Infection intensity ranged from 1 to 13 for C. shindei and their plerocercoids. C. shindei occupy the position of secondary species in community structure of metazoan parasites of M. armatus, with mean intensity, mean abundance and index of infection (2.5 ± 1.22; 1.1 ± 1.45 and 0.57 respectively). The present investigation deals with monthly population dynamics of C. shindei in M. armatus which summarizes percentage of prevalence, intensity, abundance and index of infection. Medium sized fish depicted more infection with this cestode and female fish illustrates comparatively higher infection rate than male fish.
