Description

The present study has been conducted to investigate taxonomic aspects of the piscian cestode focusing on its morphological characters. freshwater catfish Clarias batrachus (Linnaeus, 1758) were collected from sampling stations and examined for tapeworm parasites. Six tapeworm parasites were found from its Intestine. The morphological study of cestode indicates that parasitic diversity is available in the Ganga river at Prayagraj (U.P.) region. Morphotaxonomic characters were examined as – H, butterfly-shaped ovary, vitelline follicle - cortical.
