Lerneosis in the species cultivated on the fish farms of the South of the Russian Federation

Information on lenaea invasions in the fish species, inhabiting the ponds of the South of Russia is provided. In the course of this study, 7 fish species from fish farms in the Rostov Region (3 fish farms), Krasnodar (3), and Stavropol (1) Krais have been investigated. Using methods of physical examination and parasitological analysis, over 1000 fish specimens (European carp, grass carp, silver carp, Prussian carp, white bream, and European perch species) were analyzed. On the investigated fish farms, various levels of infection with Lernaea cyprinacea as a lerneosis etiological agent have been recorded. The highest values of invasion prevalence and intensity (81 specimens) were recorded in grass carp 3- and 4-yearlings in the fattening reservoir on the fish farm in the Krasnodar Krai. Parasites were found, predominantly, on fish body surface, and, in isolated cases, on gills.
