“…Samples on slides were stained with 1 drop of eosin solution. Eosin solution was prepared by adding 1 gram of Eosin Y, 5 ml of glacial acetic acid to 1 liter of 70% ethyl alcohol (Echem at al., 2018). Images of the parasites were documented and were brought to Dr. Evelyn Campos of Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology and Paul K. Aranton a Registered Medical Technologist for identification.…”

Rastrelliger brachysoma (short mackerel) or locally known as kabalyas is one of the most commercially important small pelagic fish because of its low price in the market and a good source of protein. However, like other fish, R. brachysoma are also prone to parasites. Thus, this study aimed to conduct a parasite survey in R. brachysoma sold in selected public markets in Zamboanga City. This study provides a baseline data about parasites in R. brachysoma and promote public health awareness with the locals in Zamboanga City. The researcher collected a total of 60 R. brachysoma using purposive sampling. In the laboratory, gills, stomach and intestines were removed from the samples and subjected for microscopic examination. Images were taken and used for identification of parasites and verified by experts. Prevalence and mean intensity were computed for parasites. There were eight genera, and three of which were identified to the species level. Among which, the most prevalent were Dermocystidium sp. and Amyloodinium sp. while Cryptocaryon irritans, Schistosoma sp. and Echinorhynchus sp. were least prevalent. In terms of intensity, Dermocystidium sp. has the highest mean intensity while Schistosoma sp. has the lowest mean intensity.
