“…When such fingerlings are used in stocking either a newly established or already existing farm, the parasites may be transmitted into the ponds to cause an outbreak. Ramudu et al (2013) in their study on prevalence of monogenean parasites on Indian Major Carps in Bheries of West Bengal reported that infected brood stocks might also transfer ectoparasites from farm to farm when their fingerlings are used to stock uninfected ponds.…”

This study investigated the prevalence rate, relative abundance and mean intensity of parasites infecting cultured Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus L. in three fish farms, Gbarnga, Warta and CARI in Bong County, Liberia. Organs from thirty fish samples were examined from September 2016 to February 2017, along with water quality parameters. Results showed the occurrence of seven parasites including protozoans, monogeneans, digeneans, cestodes, hirudineans, nematodes and crustaceans which were organ specific in terms of infection. The prevalence of the parasites varied seasonally, with the highest numbers occurring in November-January. The low prevalence rate, relative abundance and mean intensity of the parasites showed no threat to fish farmers in Liberia. All the water quality parameters were at desirable levels for the culture of the fish except nitrite, which was beyond the threshold for sustainable fish culture. It is therefore concluded that although parasitic infections in the three farms in the Bong County were low, best farm management practices are essential.

“…And they also noted that small sized fishes are more vulnerable to parasitic infection than the large fishes. Ramudu et al (2018) Chakravarty (1943) studied the myxosporidian parasites from some common food fishes of West Bengal. Now myxosporidians are included under the phylum cnidaria (Fiala et al, 2015).…”

“…In their study they found that fishes with a particular length were more susceptible to parasitic infection and the dominance of infection varies with seasons. Ramudu et al (2018) identified nematodes in Catla catla fish collected from the Bheries of West Bengal. The fishes were collected from Bheries of Garia, Bantala, Bamanghata, Gangajuara of South 24 Parganas District, Naihati of North 24 Parganas District, Memari of Burdwan District of West Bengal.…”

Aquaculture has the potential to meet the need of growing demand of fish in an affordable price. But in capture and in culture fisheries the fishes face diseases that interfere in the production of fish. The occurrence of disease causes the reduced production in aquaculture or reduce the marketable value of fish because of change of flesh quality, thus hampering the production. Freshwater fishes whether they are cultured or wild face different types of diseases in their skin, gills, fins, blood, and internal organs. The parasites that cause the diseases may be protozoans or metazoans.The main protozoan freshwater fish diseases are ichthyophthiriasis, trichodiniasis, costiosis, chilodonellosis. The most common metazoan parasitic diseases of freshwater fishes are dactylogyrusis, gyrodactylosis, argulosis, myxosporidiasis, ligulosis, ergasilosis, lernaesis, etc. The focus of this review is to screen the research studies that takes place on freshwater fish parasites of West Bengal. The review also aims to study the diversity of freshwater fish parasites in West Bengal, so that it will helps the researcher to get an idea about the freshwater fish parasites and their mode of infection in the fishes. The research work that takes place in different regions of West Bengal. Some of them reveal new species of parasites in fishes. Protozoan, cnidarian, acanthocephalan, nematode, cestode, trematode, crustacean parasites are identified in freshwater fishes of West Bengal. Among the protozoans cailiates, flagellates are identified. Trichodinids are very common protozoan fish parasites in most districts. Parasites under genus Myxobolus, Dactylogyrus, Gyrodactylus, Argulus, Lernea are common among the metazoans.
