| Summary: | Lernaea is among the most important crustacean
parasites of freshwater fish which poses a serious threat
to Malaysian aquaculture . An outbreak of lernaeosis
occurred in a manmade lake in the Shah Alam recreational
park in Selangor Darul Ehsan , West Malaysia during early
1991 and caused severe mortalities of Javanese carp
( Puntius gonionotus ) , locally known as Lampam Jawa . The
parasite involved was identified as a new lernaeid species
specific to P.gonionotus and named as Lernaea gonionoti
sp. nov . It was found that L. gonionoti sp . nov . can be
differentiated from other known Malaysian lernaeid
parasites during their early life , using certain larval
morphometrics , especially the body length . However , on P.gonionotus , L . cyprinacea and L . gonionoti sp . nov . have a
similar duration for their early life stages. |
