Testing of the efficiency of selected antiparasitics on the metacercaria of the eye flukes (Diplostomum spathaceum) in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella).
IPSEROVÁ, Jarmila
In this thesis, the efficiency of orally applied praziquantel (PQ) in two concentrations (Pramik 1 and Pramik 2) and mebendazole (MB) were tested on metacercaria of eye flukes (Diplostomum spathaceum, Rudolphi, 1819) in the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella, Valenciennes, 1844). Naturally infected fish (average fish weight was 1.6 g and standard deviation was 0.1) were divided into four groups, for each tested group (Pramik 1, Pramik 2 and MB) belonged two aquariums of 100 liters each with 25 fish and for a control group belonged three aquariums of 100 liters each with 25 fish. The fish in the individual groups were fed with medicated feed containing praziquantel (Pramik 1 - 2.5 g PQ. kg-1 of feed, Pramik 2 - 1.25 g PQ. kg-1 of feed) and medicated feed mixture KP1 enriched with mebendazole (2.5 g MB. kg-1 of feed). The control group was fed with KP1 without drug addition. During the test the parasitological examinations of the ophthalmic lens were performed. The prevalence and intensity of infection were recorded. In the group of fish fed with medicated mixture containing MB, no statistically significant differences of the intensity of the infection indicating the MB potential in the fight against this fish infection were reported during the test. In the case of tested groups of fish fed with medicated feed mixture containing PQ (Pramik 1, Pramik 2), a statistically significant difference in the intensity of the infection was proved compared with the control group already after the first examination (estimated dose of consumed PQ. kg-1 of weight of fish = 500 and 250 mg). Near complete elimination of the eye flukes occurred in the group fed with feed mixture Pramik 1 after the expected consumption of 900 mg PQ. kg-1 of weight of fish. Statistically significant differences in the intensity of the infection in PQ treated fish groups compared to control groups indicate the usability of medicated feed containing PQ in the fight against fish diplostomosis.

Sensitivity to anesthetic clove oil different species of adult fish
ŠKEŘÍK, Jindřich
Nomenclature: Sensitivity to anesthetic clove oil different species of adult fish Sensitivity of breeding fishes of various species (Siberian sturgeon, Brook trout, Black carp- young breeding fishes) for anesthetic clove oil was probed by the tests performed at temperature in the period of stripping (apart from Brook trout and Black carp). The tests were carried out with 17 fish species- with cyprinids (Ide- golden form, Common dace, European Chub, Sneep, Barbel, Grass carp, Black carp, bighead carp), salmonids (Brown trout, Rainbow trout, Brook trout), thymallinae (Grayling), pikes (Northern pike), perches (Pike-perch), sturgeons (Siberian sturgeon, Beluga) and airbreathing catfishes (North African catfish). Using concentration of 0,03ml.l-1 (Brown trout, Rainbow trout, Brook trout, Grayling, Pike, Pike perch, Ide, Dace, Chub, Barbel and Sneep), 0,04ml.l-1 (Grass carp, Black carp, Bighead carp), 0,05ml.l-1 (North African catfish) and 0,07ml.l-1 (Siberian sturgeon, Beluga) the IIb. Phase has been achieved, which is sufficient for manipulation with fishes during stripping. The anesthesia subsided after time period of 10-17 minutes (12 species) at the majority of fishes and at others after interval of 20-26 minutes (5 species). The results confirmed concentrations recommended for salmodis and Grayling (0,025-0,03ml.l-1), sturgeons (0,07ml.l-1), and North African catfish (0,05ml.l-1). At the majority of cyprinids (apart from Grass carp, Black carp and Bighead carp), the concentration used was lower than recommended (0,04-0,05ml.l-1)
