PREVALENSI DAN JENIS-JENIS PARASIT PADA IKAN DI SUNGAI KAMPAR DESA SERING KECAMATAN PELALAWAN

Abstract

This study aimed to determine species, prevalency and intensity of parasites in fish from Kampar river, Sering Village, Pelalawan District. This research was conducted from December 2014 to February 2015. A Total of 40 fish samples from 7 species were observed, identified and then analyzed. Endoparasites found in the digestive tract was from the Family of Anoplocephalidae, Trichinellidae, and Strongyloididae with a value of 22.5% prevalence of endoparasites, with the category Often, whereas in scales and gills there were no ectoparasites. The value of the prevalence of endoparasites in each Family were 2.5% (Anoplocephalidae), 5% (Trichinellidae), and 15% (Strongyloididae). Endoparasites prevalence values for each fish species were 71% (Channa striata), 38% (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii), 17% (Osteochilus kelabau). Value prevalence of parasites in each organ of the digestive tract was 30% in stomach and 70% in bowel. Endoparasites intensity value was 1.1 while the value of the intensity of each Family were 1 (Anoplocephalidae), 1 (Trichinellidae) and 1.17 (Strongyloididae).
