Abstract
The study was conducted to evaluate the endoparasitic
infection in fresh water Indian major carp i.e., Catla catla (thaila).
Fishes were randomly collected from the various water sources like Aurangabad
fish pond, near Ramabai Ambedkar Park, Lucknow, Gomti river front, Lucknow,
Bani sai river, near Ramada hotel, Lucknow, and Nadarganj pond, near airport, Lucknow,
and Fish Pond in Scooter India, near Police Chauki, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh etc.
During the period from January 2022 to June 2022. Total 41 catla catla fishes
were visually inspected and were dissected in the laboratory out of which 21
Fishes were found infested with the parasites. Fishes were showing the parasitic
infestation of Acanthocephalans in intestine of the fish. The prevalence and
mean intensity of acanthocephalan infection in Catla catla fish found
was 51.2 % and 2.0 respectively. Identification of parasites was done using
light microscope and scanning electron microscope. The present study explains
the morphological identification of Acanthocephalan found in host Catla
catla.
