ABSTRACT A Study was conducted to investigate the infestations of monogenetic trematodes of juvenile carps of district Sultanpur (U.P.). A total of six (06) farms 03 Government (Govt.) and 03 Private (Pvt.) were investigated for Indian major carps - Rohu (Labeo rohita) Bhakur (Catla catla), and Mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) during February 2019 to January 2020. Monthly sampling were carried out with 10 fishes of each species and each farm. Altogether 2160 fish host were examined of which 997 hosts were found to be infested with monogenetic trematodes. The monogeneans were very common in gills of all fishes. Water quality parameters were taken and management practices were also noted. The risk of infestation of corps by monogeneans increased when the water quality parameters were deteriorated. Prevalence (%), mean intensity and abundance were found to be species specific and also varied with seasons and management systems practiced by different farmers. The prevalence % of monogeneans were higher in rainy season than dry season. Rohu was more infected by monogeneans in comparison to Bhakur and Mrigal.

Key Words : Monogenetic Trematode, Infestation, Indian Major Carps.
