 Abstract 


The present study was aimed to investigate the occurrence of parasitic and bacterial diseases in some freshwater fish in NongBo reservoir, Maha Sarakham Province. The sampling was randomly collect from three sites by gillnets, bag nets and cast nets from the local fisherman during October 2015 to September 2016. A total of eight freshwater fish species were identified namely Oreochromis niloticus, Hampala dispar, Pristolepis fasciata, Trichopodus pectoralis, Anabas testudineus, Oxyeleotris marmorata, Channa striata and Clarias batrachus. The parasitic diseases found on the sampled fish specied were external parasites such as Trichodina sp., Dactylogyrus sp. and Digenea gen.sp. The bacterial diseases identified were Aeromonas hydrophila, Acinetobacter baumannii, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Serratia odorifera and Staphylococcus epidermis. The dominant species of bacterium was Aeromonas hydrophila. This study revealed that the natural fish stock could be risk from the fish pathogens both parasites and bacteria.
