PENYEBARAN CACING PARASITIK PADA IKAN KEMBUNG PEREMPUAN (Rastrelliger brachysoma) DI PULAU JAWA
ABSTRACT: Helminth is one of
the many parasitic groups found on the body of the fish. The helminth parasitic
can inflict harm ecologically, biologically and economically. Monitoring of the
distribution of disease in fish is crucial especially when the fish has a pattern
of migration from one place to another. Fish sampling was carried out in September
– October 2012 from the place of landing of Fishes (TPI), i.e. TPI's Pelabuhan Ratu
(West Java province), TPI Karangantu (Banten Province), TPI Bandar Lampung (province
of Bandar Lampung), TPI Muara Angke (DKI Jakarta), and TPI Banyuwangi (East
Java province). As many as 160 of 218 R. brachysoma (a prevalence 73.38 %), and
number of intencity is 1.378 ± 11.96. The helmint parasitic is a Lechitocladium
angustiovum (Digenea: Hemiuridae), Lecitochirium sp. (Digenea: Hemiuridae), Prodistomum
orientalis (Digenea: Lepocreadiidae) and Anisakis typica (Nematodes: Anisakidae).
Differences in characteristics of R. brachysoma habitat will cause differences
in the amount, intensity and prevalence of the helminth parasitic species investment
in an area. This is related to the behavior of eating and food availability of
R. brachysoma. The distribution of the helminth parasitic in the digestive
organs is on intestine (13.72%) and stomach (86.28%), utilizing the existing
nutrients as food. In very small amounts, the relationship between the parasite
and its host is a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship but in great
numbers, the helminth parasitic infection can lead to secondary infections on
the infected organs and can lead to decreased metabolism.
