BACKGROUND: Clinostomum complanatum (Trematoda: Clinostomidae) infects freshwater fishes, causing metabolic stress and economic loss. Data on its morphology and physiological impact on Channa punctata in Lucknow wetlands are limited.
OBJECTIVES: To identify C. complanatum using light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and assess its effect on host protein levels.
METHODS: Fifty C. punctata were collected from the Kallipaschim wetland, Lucknow. Parasites were morphologically and ultrastructurally characterized. Protein concentrations in liver, muscle, and parasite tissues were analyzed using the Bradford assay and compared between infected and uninfected fish.
RESULTS: C. complanatum showed a dorsoventrally flattened body with distinct oral and ventral suckers and spined tegument. Infected fish exhibited elevated protein concentrations liver (2.5 µg/ml), muscle (5.29 µg/ml), and parasite (3.95 µg/ml) indicating metabolic stress, immune activation, and tissue repair. The parasite's high protein level reflected dependence on host nutrients.
CONCLUSION: C. complanatum infection causes significant biochemical and structural alterations in C. punctata, impairing health and reducing aquaculture productivity. Regular monitoring and parasite control are crucial for sustainable fish farming.
