| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research was to record the parasites (ectoparasite and endoparasite) in giant gourami which cultured in plastic lined pond system. Thirty fingerlings for each size ranges of 3-4 cm, 5-6 cm, and 10-11 cm were collected from plastic lined ponds in three different villages, Desa Mergosari, Desa Kemiri, and Desa Karang Tengah, Kecamatan Pengasih, Kabupaten Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. The examination showed that there were 5 genera of ectoparasites found in gouramy fingerlings, namely Trichodina, Chilodonella, Dactylogyrus, Gyrodactylus, and Ichthyophthirius. The highest prevalent and parasite intensity were found in Trichodina in 5 – 6 cm sized fish which were 100% and 28 ind/fish, respectively. There was no endoparasite found in giant gouramy fingerlings during the examination period. | en |
