Abstract


The climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) is an economically important freshwater commodity that is vulnerable to parasitic diseases in aquaculture systems. This study aims to identify the types of ectoparasites and endoparasites infesting climbing perch in earthen ponds, as well as to analyze their prevalence and intensity levels. Examination of the test fish was conducted over four months (Februar-June 2026) using macroscopic observation for clinical symptoms and microscopic examination of the skin, mucus, gills, stomach, foregut, and hindgut. The results revealed four types of ectoparasites, namely Trichodina sp., Oodinium sp., Dactylogyrus sp., and Gyrodactylus sp., as well as three types of nematode endoparasites, including Strongyloides stercoralis, Camallanus sp., and nematode larvae. Trichodina sp. was the most dominant parasite with the highest prevalence value of 41.18% (common infection category) and the highest intensity value reaching 16.42 ind/fish (moderate infection category). Conversely, the endoparasite group recorded very low infestation levels with a prevalence of 5.88% and an intensity of 1 ind/fish each. Macroscopic observations showed clinical manifestations in the form of excessive mucus production, exophthalmia/red eyes, cloudy eyes, hemorrhages, and loss of eyeballs due to parasitic activities. The dominance of ectoparasites indicates a strong influence of organic matter accumulation at the pond bottom on parasite transmission, suggesting that water quality management should be the primary focus to suppress parasite population growth
