Abstract

The tinfoil barb (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii) is an important source of food and protein. This study observed the prevalence and mean intensity of nematode infestation in B. schwanenfeldii in rivers flowing into Kenyir Lake in Terengganu Malaysia. . Furthermore the microbiology quality analysis of non-infected and infected fish in the parasite and water samples of Sungai Tembat and Sungai Petuang that flows into the lake were determined. B. schwanenfeldii were mostly infected by Cucullanus sp (Cucullanidae). Nematode prevalence from Sungai Tembat and Petuang were 3.59 and 1.02 respectively with mean intensities of 12.67 and 7.00. B. schwanenfeldii caught from Sungai Tembat showed no significant difference in total bacteria count in noninfected and infected fish. However the total bacteria in nematodes showed a significantly (p0.05) higher amount compared to fish and river water samples. The total bacteria count in non-infected tinfoil barbs of Petuang river was higher but not significantly different from infected fish and in nematodes. The total bacteria count in water samples of Petuang river was significantly (p0.05) lower compared to non-infected tinfoil barb. Cucullanus sp showed a low prevalence and no significant influence on the microbiology quality in B. schwanenfeldii of Tasik Kenyir. The low presence of bacteria in current studies indicates a mutual relationship between the microbes host and parasite.
