Abstract

Diseases and parasites of food fishes in
India and adjacent countries were reported on
several occasions (Gopalakrishnan 1967). A
few cases of argulosis associated with fish
mortality were also known from Indian ponds
(Hora 1943; Anonymous 1955,1960; Gopalakrishnan
1963, 1964; Tripathi 1975). However,
Ramakrishna (1951) reported the occurrence
of Argulus siamensis for the first time
from India. He had examined Southwell's
(1915) and Hora's (1943) collection and identified
them as A. siamensis. Afterwards areponof
A. siamensis infecting large number of
fishes of a pond at Salkia, Howrah, appeared in
the Annual Report of the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute, Mandapam (Anonymous
1955).
