  • Abstract:
  • Freshwater ecosystems include numerous aquatic resources, such as rivers and dams, which support diverse fish fauna and contribute significantly to inland fisheries. Among the commercially important species, Labeo rohita is widely distributed and is an important component of freshwater aquaculture. It is highly demanded and economically important fish in the aquaculture industries. As the Parasitic infections, particularly helminthes can influence the stress to the physiological and metabolic activities of the fish. Present study was to consider to evaluate the seasonal variations in selected biochemical parameters, such as glycogen, protein, and lipids, in helminthes-infected and non-infected L. rohita collected from freshwater bodies in the Nashik district of Maharashtra (India). Fish samples were collected and analyzed during three seasonal variation changes in water quality in summer, monsoon and winter of year 2023-2024 simultaneously. The results showed a consistent decline of nutrients, such as glycogen, protein, and lipids, in infected fish with helminthes parasites compared to non-infected fish.
