Protozoan parasites of Vannamei Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in farmed fish from Pasuruan, Indonesia

This work investigated the protozoan parasites infesting the vannamei shrimp in farmed fish from Pasuruan, Indonesia. The protozoan parasites found in infested vannamei shrimp were ectoparasites; the protozoan Zoothamnium sp., Vorticella sp. and Epistylis sp. The fish were collected from a fish cult...

Description
Summary:This work investigated the protozoan parasites infesting the vannamei shrimp in farmed fish from Pasuruan, Indonesia. The protozoan parasites found in infested vannamei shrimp were ectoparasites; the protozoan Zoothamnium sp., Vorticella sp. and Epistylis sp. The fish were collected from a fish culture center in Pasuruan, Indonesia, weekly for one month. The diagnosis method as a part of the protozoan ectoparasite examination was scrapping. The prevalence rate of protozoan ectoparasites were, respectively, 72,5% for Zoothamnium sp., 55% for Vorticella sp. and 42,5% for Epistylis sp.
