Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the protozoan parasites in common carp (Cyprinus carpio, L. 1758) from the largest cyprinid aquaculture facility in Macedonia, located in Pelagonia region (Bitola). This study was carried out by seasons, in a period of three years. A total of 212 specimens of common carp were examined and 134 fish (63.20%) were infected with protozoan parasites. Representatives of Protozoa were most commonly occurred during the spring (in 58.27 % of the fish examined), than in winter (55.21 %), summer (39.07 %) and the lowest in autumn (35.64 %). In common carp from this cyprinid fish farm the presence of 4 protozoa species was established: Myxobolus müelleri, Myxobolus encephalicus, Thelohanellus nikolskii and Trichodina sp. The mean intensity with protozoan parasites in common carp was 3.60, while the prevalence 10.20 %.
