| description | This study was carried out to detect the reason of mortalities
of 7 Discus fishes (Symphsodon discus) sent to our laboratory.
In discus fishes, which death on the 20th day after birth showed
pale gills, excess mucus production, lethargic swimming
close to the surface, abnormal swimming behavior, balance
loss and lethargy. The scrapes of the gills, fins and skin
were examined for presence of parasitic fauna under a light
microscope. Dactylogyrus sp. (Monogenea), Tetrahymena sp.
(Ciliata), Vorticella sp. (Ciliata), Philodina sp. (Metazoa) were
identified from all of the examined fishes. |
