    Abstract

    Present study consists the prevalence of philometrid nematode, Philometra lateolabracis infections in two species of Sciaenid fishes along the Madras coastal water, Bay of Bengal during December, 2008 to July, 2012. Out of total 295 sciaenid fishes, examined, Otolithes ruber and Pennahia macrophthalmus showed 70% & 32.5% of parasitic prevalence on the subcutaneous region on caudal fins. The number of parasitic worms per fish varied from 1 to 7 with an average of 3.18±1.64. Parasites length varies from 5-16 mm with an average of 11.18±4.62 mm. The minimum and maximum sizes and weight of Sciaenid fishes were caught from Kasimedu landing centre (Chennai) during October-December, 2012 varied from180-287 mm and weight 120-245 gm respectively.
