The number of parasitic species found in ponds in small compared with those harbored by the fish in its natural environment. Parasites with a direct life cycle usually survive in ponds as flagellates, ciliates, myxosporidians, coccidia and parasitic arthropods under improper management. The methods of treatment, prevention and control of these parasites are discussed
