Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of parasites of the class Cestoda in farmed common carp from
the cyprinid aquaculture facilities in Macedonia. The representatives of the class Cestoda occur most often during the winter (in 3.47% of examined fish), followed by spring (1.80%) and autum n (1 73%). They haven`t been identified
during the summer.
20 fish out of 958 totally examined were infected with cestodes, with a mean intensity of 6.40, and a prevalence of
1.76%. In this study, the following parasite species were established: Caryophyl laeus fimbriceps, Bothriocephalus
opsariichthydis an d Ligula intestinalis (plerocerc oid).
Based on the total number of fish examined from cyprinid aquaculture facilities in Macedonia, the highest prevalence
from the class Cestoda is determined by Bothrioc ephal us opsariichthydis (1.04%), followed by Caryophyllaeus
fimbriceps and Ligula intestinalis with 0.55% each.
The highest mean intensity with parasites of the class Cestoda is determined by Caryophyllaeus fimbriceps (9.40),
followed by Bothriocephalus op sarii chthydis (6.30) and Ligula intestinalis (3.60).
The records of Caryophyllaeus fimbriceps in farmed common carp in the present study are considered as the first
records for Macedonian aquaculture.
