Parasitic Fauna of Rainbow Trout Infected with Glugeosis in the Fish Farms of the Ararat Valley

Abstract

Upon the researches of the contemporary pisciculture it has been found out that fish species especially those of trout family, are susceptible to the widespread invasive- parasitic diseases. The high concentration of fish in ponds, violation of sanitary stanards in the pond farms, lack of treatment of some invasions contribute to the
widespread occurrence of these diseases and the mass fish mortality. For the period of 2017 - 2019 mass infection of rainbow trout with glugeosis was detected in the five pond farms of the Ararat valley, while ichthyophthirius, chilodonella, and trichodinosis were fixed as secondary invasions. Therefore, for the prevention of individual and mixed invasive diseases it is recommended to take timely fish-breeding,
reclamative and veterinary - sanitary measures in the mentioned pond farms.
