A total of two hundred and forty five specimens of the fish host were examined.The female specimens (n =88) has a prevalence of 69.3% while the male specimens (n = 157) had a lower prevalence of 46.4%.  The SEM description of the caryophyllidea cestode revealed the scolex to be fluke – like with four shallow longitudinal groove and  flat pointed anterior end.  The overall length of the scolex is 104250.97µm with a breadth of 653451.20µm.The furrow longitudinal groove were only observed on the dorsal side of the scolex.
