Abstract
Parasitic diseases are infectious extoparasitic diseases caused by
the parasites. A survey on some ectoparasitic disease in fresh water
ornamental fish species was carried out at various shops of New Delhi.
Saidpur fish aquarium House, Karnal, Department of Fisheries,
Government of Haryana and at three aquarium shops of Hisar, four
residential and office areas. The studies revealed that the level of
infection of various ectoparasitic diseases were correlated with hydrobiological
parameters were they related. They affect the fish directly or
indirectly “Lernaeosis” infection was found in Gold fish, whereas “White
spot” disease was found in Gold fish and Black moor. The correlation
between hydro-biological parameters and per cent infected fish clearly
showed that temperature, pH, DO and turbidity factors were negatively
xvi
correlated with per cent of infected fish, whereas total alkalinity, total
hardness and free CO2 were positively correlated with per cent of
infected fish. The studies showed that for the treatment of
“Lerneaeosis” and “white spot” disease a combination of methylene blue
+ potassium permanagate; methylene blue + malachite green; copper
sulphate + malachite green and formaline + malachite green was given
to the infected fish at laboratory level, then 100 per cent recovery was
observed in the infected fish. When sodium chloride was used alone for
the treatment of infected fish then 100 per cent recovery was observed
but recovery takes more time.
