During the period 2014-18, a total of 219 cases of fish mortalities were being investigated under a passive surveillance programme. Among different disease incidences parasitic diseases were found to the major contributor accounting for 74.88% cases followed by bacterial diseases of 12.79%, mixed bacterial and parasitic diseases of 10.50% and viral diseases of 1.83%. Among different parasitic cases mixed parasitic infections (37.80%) were found to be premier cause of disease followed by Argulosis (19.51%), Dactylogyrosis (18.90%), Myxosporean infections (12.80%), Trichodinosis and Ichthyophthiriasis (3.04%) and other parasitic infections (4.88%). Among bacterial infections, aeromonads group account for 66.66% diseases besides few emerging pathogens of public health significance. Catla was found to be the most susceptible species and winter ..
