Abstract

The present study deals with the comprehensive account of the Platyhelminthes parasites of fish of economic importance from Diamond Harbour coast of West Bengal. 38 species belonging to 28 genera under 17 families of trematode parasites and 5 species belonging to 4 genera of 3 families of Acanthocephalan parasites from fish hosts have also been reported. This study shows that the rate of platyhelminthes parasitic infection in the fish is less in winter than in comparison to other seasons.

Keywords

Abstract

Four species of ctenophore viz., Pleurobrachia globosa Moser, 1903; Pleurobrachia pileus (O. F. Müller, 1776); Beroe ovata Bruguière, 1789 and Beroe gracilis Künne, 1939 were collected from the mangrove estuarine waters of Sundarban during winter monsoon survey conducted in January 2018. Of these species, Beroe gracilis Künne, 1939 is a new record from Bay of Bengal, Northern Indian Ocean. Pleurobrachia pileus was found to cause a swarm in Sundarban waters. The present study provides the description and distribution of four ctenophore species recorded in the study area.

Keywords

Abstract

A compilation of polychaete species distributed along the East coast of India has been presented in this paper, which includes a total of 22 species belonging to 20 genera, 15 families, four orders and three subclasses; obtained during the summer monsoon survey of 2013. Subclass Errantia and Sedentaria comprised of 10 species each, while subclass Polychaeta incertae sedis consisted of only two species.
