| Abstract: | The study on morphology of Lernanthropus latis from Family
Lernanthropidae was described using compound microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. This crustacean parasite was studied from the gill of the seabass, Lates calcarifer cultured in cages at Sungai Semerak, Kelantan, Malaysia. Two Bluestreak cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus) were put into the cages after the third
sampling. Results showed that the prevalence and mean intensity of the parasites was 100 percent in all three samplings. The mean intensity was 41.47 for the first sampling, 45.33 for second sampling and 37.87 for third sampling respectively. The prevalence decreased from 100 percent to 80 percent and the mean intensity was
8.00 for fourth sampling, 8.17 for fifth sampling and 4.75 for sixth sampling. It showed a significant difference in number of parasites between the six samplings. Therefore there was a possibility of using Bluestreak cleaner wrasse as a biological control for
parasites. |
