Abstract
Silver catfish (Pangasius sutchi) is a staple food source for Southeast Asian countries but the prevalence of endoparasites in aquaculture system of this species has not been widely documented. The purpose of this study is to determine the presence and identification of endoparasites in silver catfish cultured in fibreglass tank. In this study, a total of 12 silver catfish weighing around 400 to 500 grams were collected from intensive aquaculture farming in Universiti Putra Malaysia and their internal organs were examined. The farm maintains proper biosecurity and water management in compliance with the Malaysian Good Agricultural Practice (MyGAP) in Aquaculture. The result of the study shows that none of the sampled fish contain any common endoparasites in the blood, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, and spleen. Thus, it can be concluded that with proper management of feed and environment of the fish stock in addition to using a smart recirculating aquaculture system, prevalence of endoparasites can be significantly reduced. However, the specific risk factors that influence the result of the study has not been properly determined.
