- Abstract
This study aimed to determine types, prevalence, and intensity of ectoparasites and endoparasites that infect kerandang fish Channa pleurophtalma and catfish Clarias batrachus. Sampling was carried out in Sebangau River, while identification was carried out at the Fish Quarantine, Quality Control, and Safety Station, Palangka Raya. Examination of ectoparasite infection included bilateral body mucus, caudal fin, and gills. Endoparasite examination was done by observing the fish organs, such as liver, blood, meat, intestines, and stomach. The parasite analysis was determined by calculating the prevalence and intensity. In kerandang fish, the ectoparasites were identified as Trichodina sp., Gyrodactylus sp., Epistylis sp., Dactylogyrus sp., while the endoparasites were Camallanus sp. and Neoechinorhyncus. In catfish, the ectoparasites were identified as Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Myxobolus sp., and Costia sp., while the endoparasites were Camallanus sp. Dominant ectoparasite that infected fish was Dactylogyrus sp. on fish gills. For endoparasites, the dominant endoparasites were identified as Neoechinorhyncus in kerandang fish and Camallanus sp. in catfish. The highest prevalence was found in Dactylogyrus sp. at 27%. The prevalence was categorized as a frequent infection. The highest ectoparasite intensity level was obtained from Trichodina sp. at 20.3 ind/fish in kerandang fish and Dactylogyrus sp. at 12.2 ind/fish in catfish. This intensity level is categorized in a medium intensity.
