Abstract:
A total of sixty specimens of the fish samples (Mega/ops cyprinoides) were collected from KUSTEM's brackish waters during non-monsoon season (July- October, 2003) and monsoon season (December, 2003 - January, 2004) with thirty specimens per season. The fish samples were examined with the reference to the prevalence and mean intensity of the parasites found. A total of 8 species of parasites were discovered throughout the study: two species were trematode (Allocreadium sp. and Macradenina sp.), three species were nematode (Carnal/anus sp., Contracaecum sp. and Philometra sp. ), two species were cestode and one species of arachnida.
