Evaluating the Impact of Parasitic Infections on the Health and Viability of Culturable Freshwater Fish | Chapter 8 | Research Perspective on Biological Science Vol. 3

 

Parasites can be found in a wide variety of animal species. They are more numerous than free-living creatures and can be found in every animal phylum, from protists to chordates. This study evaluates the impact of parasitic infections on the health and viability of culturable freshwater fish. In grouper aquaculture, a diverse range of parasitic organisms has been documented to cause substantial issues. Protozoans, particularly ciliates, are the primary source of parasitic illnesses in groupers in the hatchery and nursery phases. Grouper fries are subjected to handling and travel stress when they are transferred to grow-out facilities. Ciliated protozoans, skin, and gill monogeneans and caligid copepods are all common parasites carried by these fish. Protozoans, monogeneans, didymozoid digeneans, nematodes, caligid copepods, isopods and leeches are among the primary parasites of cultivated groupers discussed in this review paper. Important management implications for the preservation of freshwater fishes and their natural parasites have also been brought to light by an analysis of the anticipated consequences of climate change on intermittent rivers.
