Abstract :
Intensity of Echinorhynchusveli infection is more common in the fish. This study was conducted in department of Zoology, Mar Ivanios College, Nalanchira, Thiruvananathapuram, Kerala, India during the period of 2011-13. The fish samples were collected regular sampling of fish from Veli on the south-west coast of Kerala. In this state the winter season includes the months of January and February, followed by summer months of March, April and May. The rest of the year is the rainy season, which is divided into the South West Monsoon (June, July, August and September) and the North East Monsoon (October, November and December). The samples were collected and studied. In male and female the intensity of infection was high during the Monsoon season in the two annual cycles and low in summer and SW monsoon respectively. Echinorhynchusveli infection is more common in the rainy season.
