Gill and skin pathology of hybrid grouper (E. fuscoguttatus x E. lanceolatus) infested Zeylanicobdella arugamensis worms in different infestations degree

Abstract: Zeylanicobdella arugamensis is one of the marine parasites that attacks Hybrid grouper fish (E. fuscoguttatus x E. lanceolatus) rearing. Death of infested fish occurs in a period of 3 days after infestation due to secondary infections caused by pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio alginolyticus. Severe infestation of Zeylanicobdella arugamensis occurs in Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) and in hybrid groupers the prevalence is 59%. This research used survey method by sampling 50 hybrid groupers. The study aime… Show more

“…On the one hand, ectoparasite infection caused gill degeneration characterized by hemorrhage, excessive mucus production, and histopathology (Iwanowicz, 2011;Suliman et al, 2021). Additionally, gill morphological changes due to infection of ectoparasites can disturb the respiration's performance, adversely impacting fish growth (Nisa et al, 2021).…”

“…Infestation of ectoparasitic worms in the gills results in hyperplasia and fusion of the gill lamellae. Affected host fish will be thickened/swollen and pale red in color [15,[19][20][21]. Z. arugamensis in citric acid immersion at a concentration of 300 ppm attached to the body of the grouper appears to be released to the bottom of the water in a shrunken and dead condition.…”

“…According to [19] Z. arugamensis included leeches that obtain food by sucking blood from their host, did not have jaws but had a nutrient sucking device on the host called proboscyst [19]. Z. arugamensis infestation results in pale skin, redness and swelling [20]. The infestation would result in skin tissue damage.…”
