Rivers were the major source of freshwater fish seed in India during 1950’s and 1960’s.
Over the years, the riverine contribution has declined and at present forms only a supplementary source, constituting less than 5% of the country’s total fish seed production.
The Ganga, the Brahmaputra and the Indus river systems in the North and the Peninsular East coast and the West coast river systems in the South are the important natural sources of fish seed.
Parasitism:
It is defined as an intimate and obligatory relationships between two heterospecific organisms during which the parasite, usually the smaller of the two partners is metabolically depended on the host.
Parasitology:
The term ‘parasitology’ is originated from Greek word- ‘Para’ means beside, ‘sitos’ means food and ‘logus’ means study.
It is the branch of science which deals with the study of the relationship between the parasite and host. This discipline includes several approaches to the study of parasitic organisms such as phylogeny, morphology, ecology, life history, physiology, chaemotherapy, serology, immunology and bio chemistry.
Fish parasitology:
It is the branch of science that deals with the study of parasite of fishes. It includes the infection and disease of fish caused by parasite.

There are many diseases of fish which can be troublesome to commercial producers as well as the recreational pond owner. Many disease outbreaks of captive fish stocks are associated with stressful conditions such as poor water quality, excessive crowding or inadequate nutrition.
Life cycle of Protozoan parasite
fish parasite
parasitologyClinostomum compalanatum and Clinostomum marginatum are unsegmented flatworms of the class Trematoda and the order Digenea.
They are also called as yellow grub
They occur frequently in the skin and the muscle of the freshwater fish.
Small cream coloured nodules or cysts ranging from pinhead size up to 2.5 mm depending on their age
The number of cysts may vary from 1-100 or more than
They have an oval or round shape.
The skin of the fish in reaction to the infection produces the cysts, which contain worms.
It may take 3 weeks to make clearly visible cysts after the infection and 7 weeks to reach full size

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. INTRODUCTION
Large no of diseases occurs in all aquatic animals including fish.Due to
nutritional deficiency or unhygienic condition of water or attack of
parasites.
All species of fishes becomes infested with pathogenic bacteria.
A sick fish generally is unable to maintain balance in the water,usually
lie on the side either at the bottom are floating at the surface.
The gills becomes pale,body covered with grey slime and there is
normal colour.
A sick fish is sluggish skinness of the fish in the pond may be due to
the change in the physico – chemical of water and due to shortage of
food.
4. DROPSY
In this diseases there is accumulation of fluid in the internal
organs causing swellings.Intestine,liver and kidney are
badely effected.
It is caused by bacteria called psedomonas puntata and
Aeromonas hydrophilla.
Most fishes with this problem can survive only 2-3 weeks
but sometimes as many months.
Dropsy is mainly found in carps like Catla and Rohu.
Control measure
Dropsy is mainly treated with chloralphenicol antibiotics
added in water. The fishes kept in the solution for 3-7 days.
5.
6. TAIL ROT OR FIN ROT
Tail rot is basically erosion and disintegration of fin and tail.
In earlier stage white line appears on fin which may leads to fin lost.
Tail rot is caused by Pseudomonas Floresence.
It occurs due to poor quality of water.
If fin rot is noticed in the early stages and treated then fish may be
survive. If tail rot remains untreated then entire tail is lost and fish
die.
Control measures
The diseases may be cured by dipping in the copper sulphate
solution for 1-2.
If heavy infection,the affected portion of tail should be removed and
then wash by 1% silvar nitrate.
The fish kept in a diluted sol of potassium dichoromate for healing of
wounds which may require 7-10 days
7.
8. EYE DISEASE
This disease is caused by bacteria streptoccus iniae, as well
as Lactococcus,entrococ-cusrococcus.
The most common symptom of these bacteria will show as
cloudy eye and bulges outwards from eye cavity ,thus
called pop eye diseases.
The conory becomes vascularised leading to opacity eye
becomes whitish and loss of balanace in the body of fish.
It is observed in Rohu catla and silvar fish.
Control measures
The diseased fish may be treated by chloromycetin in the
early stage of this diseases,then fish kept in 1% of KMnO4
for 3 minutes
9.
10. FURUNCULOSIS
Mostly observed in salmon,trout and goldfish.
It is caused by bacteria Aeromonas salmonicida.
The infected fish develops swellings on the sides of the
body which may leads to ulcer.
The swelling contains pus like substance formed by
necrosis of muscle cells.
Control measure
Cured by antibiotics oxytetracycline and sulfamerazine.
11.
12. This disease is caused by ectoparasite costia which is a flagellate that
attacks skin and gills, destroys epidermal cells and feed them.
As a result excessive secretion of mucus.
The body of the fish becomes covered with bluish or grey film of
mucus.
Loss of appetite, and becomes weak and dies after sometime.
Another protozoan ciliate chilodon also attacks skin and gills.
Control Measures
Both the protozoan are controlled by treating the fish with 1% acetic
acid solution or solution of formalin.
Solutions of methylene blue, KMnO4, CuSO4 can also be used to kill
the parasite.
COSTIASIS
13.
14. WHITE SPOT
This disease caused by ciliated protozoan Ichthyophthirius species.
The parasite attacks the skin of fresh water fish, rest in between epidermis and
dermis .
Infection results in the appearance of several white spots on the skin
and fin due to rapid proliferation of epidermal cells ,which forms a covering
over the parasite.
The entire body of the fish are covered by nodules trophonts.
CONTROL MEASURES
The fish kept in the 3% salt solution or 1% solution of formaline and then
methylene (2 minutes).
The parasite also killed by rising up the temperature above 24 degree celicious.
15.
16. FUNGAL DISEASE
The fungal disease is mainly caused by seprolegnia and are
characterised by the appearance of wool (tufts) on the skin.
Root like hyphae or filaments grows in to the subcutaneous parts,
causing death of the fish.
Gills are also affected causing gill rot .Gill first becomes pale then latter
yellow-brown and destroyed.
The infection spread quickly when the fish is already injured and
weak.Healthy eggs also affected if dead eggs are not removed from the
water.
CONTOL MEASURE
The fish is taken out from the water and the affected part washed with
iodine solution,then the fish kept under 1% potassium dichromate for a
week.
We could also kept the fish under 3% solution of salt as well as 1%
solution of phenoxethol also kills the fungi.
17.
18. SWIM BLADDER DISEASE
Swim bladder disease refers to a condition when the
swim bladder donot work normally due to diseases
or environmental factors.
Affected fish will exhibit problems with buoyancy
that is ,they will have difficulty controlling their
ability to flout or sink.
Fish have swollen belly, mainly observed in gold fish.
Affected fish may eat normally or have no appetite at
all.This disorder is some times caused by
compression of swim bladder,which may involve a
distended stomach from rapid eating or overeating
or gulping air.
19. CON….
Gestrointestinal tract enlargement puts pressure on the swim
bladder or other abdominal may enlarge and affect the swim
blader (kidney and liver)
Due to swim bladder disease, fishes don’t maintain normal
position in the water.
CONTROL MEASURE
If the fishes have SBD, the first course of action is not to feed
fish for three days.At the same increasing water
temperature(80 degree celicious).
Adding small amount of salt in the tank.Reducing the water
level to make it easier for fish movement around the
tank.Hand feeding is necessary.
20.
21. CONCLUSION
The disease is harmful for both wild and cultured
fishes of our country.
Disease in fishes may cause a heavy loss for
commercially cultured fishes. So we should be
know about the signs and symptoms of disease,
that we can easily find out the proper treatment .
Fisheries is an important tool of self-employment
because fish is an important source of nutrients
and have have great economic value.
