Abstract

The study was carried out to investigate, the helminth  parasitic load in freshwater fish Heteropneustes fossilis.  During present Investigation, three groups of helminth  parasites- trematode, cestode and nematode were recovered  from Heteropneustes fossilis. The prevalence of infection  was calculated in relation to length, weight, sex-group of  fish. Large sized fish were dominatingly affected by  helminth parasites as compared to small sized fish. Female  fish was more infected as that of male fish.
