Abstract :
Out of 148 (7.50 ± 4.183) fish specimens examined, 14 fish individuals was parasitized with a total of 62 (4.43 ± 3.546, P = 0.05) parasites of the genus Paracaryophyllaeus from Karbhala wetland, Silchar in Assam, India. The overall prevalence and intensity of Paracaryophyllaeus infection was 9.46 % and 4.43 respectively and abundance was 0.42. The present study also deals with the first geographical report of the genus Paracaryophyllaeus in Assam and the taxonomical observation of Paracaryophyllaeus lepidocephali was iefly re–described. The number of fish examined and parasites was statistically significant. The correlation between the fish examined and sex of the fish was significant (r = 0.859>0.01) but showed negative correlation between fish examined and parasites (r = – 0.342); and parasites and sex of the fish host (r = – 0.531).
