PREVALENSI DAN INSIDENSI PARASIT PADA IKAN MAS (CYPRINUS CARPIO)

Abstract

Parasitic infestations in large numbers of fish can cause significant economic losses. Parasites monogenean trematode and protozoa are most common and dominant. This research was conducted to obtain the status prevalence and incidence of parasites in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total of 200 goldfish are collected from pounds in Sleman and Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The parasites were found as follows: Ichthyopthirius multifilis 41% Dactylogyrus spp. 44.5%)and Gyrodactylus spp. 25%. Parasitic incidence are as follows: Ichthyopthirius multifilis 1496/82, Dactylogyrus 119/37 and Gyrodactylus 2/2. Poor condition of pound and changing seasons in Indonesia are very influential factors in the incidence of parasitic infestations in carp (Cyprinus carpio).
