Microhabitat distribution of some monogenoideans, parasitizing the gills of Wallago attu (Bl. and Sch., 1801) and their seasonal variation
The parasitic microhabitat distribution of the monogenoideans Thaparocleidus wallagonoius Jain, 1952, Mizelleus indicus Jain, 1957and T. gomtius Jain, 1957 parasitizing the gills of a fresh-water demersal Wallago attu and their seasonal variations were investigated in the present study. The microhab...

The parasitic microhabitat distribution of the monogenoideans Thaparocleidus wallagonoius Jain, 1952, Mizelleus indicus Jain, 1957and T. gomtius Jain, 1957 parasitizing the gills of a fresh-water demersal Wallago attu and their seasonal variations were investigated in the present study. The microhabitat preferences of these species were observed. The gill segments and gill areas were the most important factors segregating the monogenoidean parasites on gills, not their abundance. Low niche overlap was found within each of the four gill arches and parasites were segregated in the same microhabitats within each gill arch. The distribution of parasites was independent of the left or right side of gill. The distribution plots in our study indicated that the anterior segment of first and fourth gill arches were more preferred site of infection. Seasonal variation of parasites, recorded during 2006 & 2007, in male and female hosts was also investigated. Due to ectoparasitic nature and high host specificity exhibited by the species of monogenoidea, studies on their seasonal dynamics are very significant as they could contribute significantly to the understanding of their biological adaptations to their environment. |
