Abstract
The present investigation deals with the population dynamics of Caryophyllidean tapeworms from freshwater fish Clarias batrachus from different places of Western Maharashtra during Jan., 2006 to Dec., 2006. Total 242.00 (57.61%) cestode parasites were recovered from 420.00 fishes. This report summarizes the percentage of incidence, intensity, density and index of infection. The high incidence was occurring in summer season as compared to other season due to the effect of environmental factors.
