Abstract

Fresh water fishes carry heavy infection of helminth parasites. Infection of these parasites may be result in poor growth, postpone sexual maturity and mortality of fishes, and cause human and animal diseases. In the present study, snake headed fish species like Channa punctatus, Channa striatus and Channa marulius were collected from natural fresh water bodies of Gonda throughout the year to assess the population dynamic of parasites helminth. The result of the present investigation shows the highest prevalence, intensity, density and index of infection of helminth parasite in summer season followed by in winter and in monsoon season. The results indicated that climatic conditions are influencing the seasonal variation of parasitic infection either directly or indirectly.
