In freshwater ecosystems, the types of fish parasites are diverse and routes of infection are complicated because they maintain the life cycle in a variety of host animals. The present study investigated the infestation characteristics of parasites occurring in abdominal cavity of Zacco platypus in Seom River from February to October 2007. At the same time, four streams (Gam Stream, Daepo Stream, Yangsan Stream, and Yulha Stream) were also surveyed for the reference of fish infection. Freshwater fish was most abundant Cyprinid and Z. platypus by 85.7% and 48.8%, respectively. Fish parasites observed in the abdominal cavity of Z. platypus was classified as Ligula intestinalis. Infection rate of plerocercoid ranged 1.4-15.8%. We discussed the relationship between the life cycle of the parasite and the host, and hope our results to be useful for understanding the ecology of the fish abdominal parasites in Korean river ecosystem. |
