Abstract

The present investigation was conducted to find out the seasonal variation in prevalence of ectoparasites of Indian major carps. Total 9 species of ectoparasites were collected from 350 fishes. Out of ten, three were belong to Myxozoan (Myxobolus sp. and Henneguya sp ), three were to Ciliophporans (Trichodina sp., Tripertiella sp. and Ichthyophthirus sp.), two were Monogeneans (Dactylogyrus sp. and Gyrodactylus sp.) and two were Crustaceans (Ergasilus sp., Argulus sp.). Among the ectoparasites, Myxobolus sp. is the most prevalent ectoparasites followed by Trichodina sp., Tripertiella sp.and Argulus sp. It was observed that the infection was the maximum in winter moderate in summer and minimum in monsoon season.
