Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A total of 800 adult Shinghi (Heteropneustes fossilis) were examined for helminth parasites during the period from March, 1979 to February, 1980. 58.88% of the total fishes were infected with different helminth parasites of which 29.5%, 15.87%, 5.13%, 5.0%, 3.75% and 1.88% were infected with Procamallenus sp., Euclinostomum sp., Philopinna sp., Bialovarium sp., Ligula intestinallis and Aphallus sp. respectively.

Objectives:

To records various species of helminth parasites affecting the fish (Shinghi: Heteropneustes fossilis) of Kaila beel, lswarganj, Mymensingh.

Methodology:

A total of 800 adult (12-20 cm) Shinghi (H. fossilis) were collected from Kaila beel, lswarganj, Mymensingh by random sampling. Collections were made with cast net, gill net, and dip net once a week. After sampling the fishes were brought alive to the laboratory for further study. In the laboratory, the fishes were placed in a tray and their outer surfaces like skin, fins, tails, eye balls and orbits were examined with the help of a hand lens and a dissecting microscope to investigate the presence of any parasites. Then the gills, body cavity, peritoneal cavity, pericardia (region, stomach surface, intestinal surface, digestive tract, liver, kidney, air bladder of the fishes were examined for the presence of any parasite. Preservation and fixation of parasites found were done Identification of parasites were done

Achievement/Findings:

It was found in the digestive tract of fish, the number of parasites per infected fish varied from two to ten. It was observed that 29.5 percent of fishes were infected with this parasite. It was observed that infection with two parasites was found in 7.12 percent, three in 6.38 percent, four in 4.38 percent, five in 4.75 percent, six in 4.5 percent, seven in 0.88 percent, eight in 1.25 percent, nine in 0.12 percent and ten in 0.12 percent of fishes.The incidence recorded in this study was high although the climatic condition of the Punjab State (India: differed from that of Bangladesh. The incidence of Procamallanus sp. was almost similar in both the place which indicated that the climatic condition did not influence its prevalence.
