Abstract

Freshwater ornamental fish are one of the fishery commodities with economic value. Freshwater ornamental fish have high prices, thereby fish farmer can open business opportunities that quite profitable. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the health of the fish. This study aimed to identify parasites and measure the prevalence of infection of freshwater ornamental fish in Jakarta. The research was conducted at the Animal Physiology Laboratory of Universitas Negeri Jakarta and the Laboratory of Fish Quarantine Quality Control and Fishery Product Safety Jakarta II. The samples consisted of black tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi), koi (Cyprinus rubrofuscus), goldfish (Carassius auratus), manfish/angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare), and patin (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) obtained through simple random sampling from the Jatinegara market and the Laboratory of Fish Quarantine Quality Control and Fishery Product Safety Jakarta II. Twenty samples were taken from each fish species, totaling 100 freshwater ornamental fish. The study identified parasites in the freshwater ornamental fish, including Dactylogyrus sp., Gyrodactylus sp., and Trichodina sp. The highest prevalence of Dactylogyrus sp. was found in koi and angelfish, with a prevalence rate of 65%. The highest prevalence of Gyrodactylus sp. was found in koi (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) with a prevalence rate of 15%. The highest prevalence of Trichodina sp. was found in goldfish with a prevalence rate of 45%. Therefore, this study shows that freshwater ornamental fish have identifiable parasites with varying prevalence rates.
