Abstract:

This study has been conducted to know the prevalence of fish helminthic endoparasites of freshwater fish hosts. The samples were collected at a regular interval of one week from May 2020 to April 2021 from Tilaiya Dam, a reservoir of Koderma, Jharkhand. Approximately 1800 fish were collected of which 360 species of Channa punctatus, 240 species of N. notopterus, 240 species of L. rohita, 240 species of C. catla, 240 species of O. niloticus, 240 species of C. mrigala, 240 species of P. sanitwongsei. The present study has been conducted on seven commercial fishes among which only C. punctata was infected. Among these 1800 fish samples, 1600 were non-infected and 200 were infected. The prevalence of Senga lucknowensis was recorded in 200 fish species of C. punctatus and no helminthic endoparasites S. lucknowensis has in other 1600 species of fish. The highest seasonal prevalence has been calculated in pre-monsoon and the highest abundance has been found in pre-monsoon and the highest intensity was also found in pre-monsoon. For the identification of species, we conducted molecular studies using PCR amplification and used 18S rRNA primer. The genomic sequence of the cestodes sample was 100% sequence similarity to the species S. lucknowensis. The sequence has been submitted to the NCBI GenBank and the accession number has been given as a representative The accession number for S. lucknowensis is ON46856, which has been given by NCBI.
