DISEASE INCIDENCES AND THEIR CONTROL IN EXOTIC CARPS

The purpose of the present study is to provide revelant information on the diseases and their control in exotic carps under sub-temperate agro-ecological conditions of lower Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh. The bacterial, fungal and protozoans disease incidences were either recorded during summer or rainy season. It was also observed that there is no complete chemical control for Myxosporidiasis. Some bacterial, fungal and protozoans diseases in exotic carps were recorded. The disease incidences were either recorded during summer or rainy season. The dip treatment in Malechite green 1:1000, 3 precent common saltsotution, Quinine solution 1:5000 and an addition of 15 kg/ha/1/2m of copper sulphate were found the most effective to control saprolegina, Trichodinosis and Cyclochaetosis, Ichthyophthireasis and Gill roting respectively in sub-temperate agro-ecological conditions of lower kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh.
