Crustacean parasitic invasions diagnosed in Hypophthachlmichthys molitrix (silver carp) in the Dracșani water accumulation

Abstract

One of the objectives of the project Team up for healthy fish in the aquaculture system of the river Prut basin is to assess the health of fish populations; thus, the accumulation of Dracșani as a component part of the SC Piscicola Botoșani farm was studied. The parasitologically examined fish were of the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Parasitic invasions were caused by Sinergasillus sp. and Lernaea sp. and the severity of the lesions were assessed.
