| description | The prevalence of helminth infection in the gill and stomach of Clarias
gariepinus in Baga site of lake Chad was investigated by this study.
Ninety samples of Clarias gariepinus were collected from Lake Chad in
northeastern Nigeria between March and August of 2007 and examined for
helminth parasites. The mean weight of Clarias gariepinus ranged
between 0.3 and 1.7kg, standard length between 1.5 -55cm, while the
total and head lengths were 58cm and 13cm for big fish; and 17 and 3cm
for small fish respectively. Examination of Clarias gariepinus for
helminthes found the gills and stomach to be most infested with
Heterophytes species of Trematodes and Cestodes with a prevalence of 8
(44.4%) and 10 (55.6%) (p> 0.05) respectively. Male Clarias had a
higher 12 (28.6%) parasites prevalence than females 6 (12.5%)

showed the highest prevalence of infection with 7 (38.9%) for the gills
4 (57.1%) and the stomach 7 (38.9%) compared with the other months of
the study. The study reveals that bigger fish have higher parasitic
burden than smaller fish and parasite infection is higher during the
dry hot season of the year.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1119-8362</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 2659-1502</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1119-8362</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2659-1499</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.4314/jasem.v15i1.65674</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Port Harcourt: World Bank assisted National Agricultural Research Project (NARP) - University of Port Harcourt</publisher><subject>Cestoda ; Clarias ; Clarias gariepinus ; Helminthes ; Marine</subject><ispartof>Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2011-03, Vol.15 (1), p.47-47</ispartof><rights>Copyright 2011 - Journal of Applied Sciences & Environmental Management</rights><rights>Copyright Dr. Michael Horsfall Jnr, University of Port Harcourt, Department of Pure and Industrial Chemistry Mar 2011</rights><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-b2558-ec39329cec5f72cec252f731d39799c3a2eeb61135de05303a8243340af1ce063</citedby></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,777,781,861,2096,27905,27906,79175</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Allumma, M.I</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Idowu, R.T</creatorcontrib><title>Prevalence of Gills Helminth of Clarias Gariepinus in Baga Side of Lake Chad</title><title>Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management</title><description>The prevalence of helminth infection in the gill and stomach of Clarias
