| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in Mariveles, Bataan. The study aimed to identify and to determine the prevalence, intensity and abundance of ascaridoid nematodes infecting marine fishes marketed in Mariveles, Bataan. Sampling was done in the month of April 2017. A total of 183 out of 909 nematodes were morphologically identified. The infection of nematodes regardless of genus showed that the Japanese scad, mackerel scad and hairtail had the highest prevalence followed by obtuse barracuda, short mackerel, bullet tuna, strongspine silver-biddy, Striped ponyfish, Karut croaker, Silver sillago, yellowback seabream, Jarbua terapon and Japanese threadfin bream. For the intensity, Japanese scad was the highest followed by the mackerel scad, hairtail, short mackerel, bullet tuna, strongspine silver-biddy, striped ponyfish, karut croaker, silver sillago, yellowback seabream, Jarbua terapon and Japanese threadfin bream. Regarding the abundance, Japanese scad was the highest followed by mackerel scad, hairtail, short mackerel, Jarbua terapon, Bullet tuna, Yellowback seabream, Strongspine silver-biddy, striped ponyfish, karut croaker, Japanese threadfin bream, silver sillago and the lowest was obtained in obtuse barracuda. Infection of nematodes with regards of the genus Anisakis, Hysterothylacium, Terranova and Raphidascaris was recorded to have the highest prevalence, intensity and abundance in Japanese scad but differ in Anisakis as shown by hairtail, in Rhapidascaris as shown by yellowback seabream, in Hysterothylacium as shown by mackerrel scad and in Terranova as shown by striped ponyfish. The result of this study could be halpful to future ecological studies such as stock assessment and biological tagging. This may also be a guide in the proper handling and processing of the fish species included in this study. | |
