Ajiwa, Bagrus bayad, Infestation, Parasite and PrevalenceAbstract
Gastrointestinal parasite in Silver catfish was studied for six months between June 2022 and November 2022 to determine the prevalence of parasites infesting Bagrus bayad and the associated risk factors in Ajiwa reservoir Batagarawa, Katsina State, Nigeria. A total of 90 fish samples were collected and examined from Ajiwa reservoir, comprising 41 and 49 males and females, respectively. Observed parasites and their prevalence (%) in Bagrus bayad include: Cestode genera; Corallobothrium solidum 21 (23.86%), Pleurocercoid or Coradium sp. 8 (9.09%), Nematode genera; Capllaria philipinesis 31 (35.23%), Cammallanus sp 16 (18.18%), Procamallanus laevichonches 12 (13.64%). The prevalence of parasites recovered from the fish species in this study was high. In conclusion, Bagrus bayad in Ajiwa reservoir was susceptible to parasite infestation. It is recommended that this species of fish from the Ajiwa reservoir should be gutted before consumption to prevent zoonotic diseases.
