From the introduction: The developmental stages in the life cycle of digeneans include a number of larvae viz., miracidium sporocyst redia cercaria and metacercaria. The cercaria develops inside sporocyst or redia. To become infective cercariae undergo a further developmental phase and are known as metacercariae. Family schistosomatidae and Azygiidae are exceptions wherein the cercariae penetrate the skin of the definitive host or ingested directly by definitive host thus without having a metacercarial stage. The fully developed cercaria emerges from snail and swims for sometimes in water. It forms a cyst or leads a free life in an intermediate host before entering the final host. Before the formation of cyst the cercaria sheds its tail. The cyst wall helps the larva to overcome the adverse climatic conditions. During this stage, certain structures of adult worms develop, physiological activities and the metabolic processes continue and thereafter further development proceeds. Mostly the metacercaria resembles its cercaria. The larva prepares itself to cope up with the new environmental conditions in final host. A perusal of Indian literature shows that little attention has been paid by workers on this peculiar but interesting larval form as regards its morphology development physiology and biochemistry. The term mesocercaria is used to describe prolonged cercarial stages which occur in the genus Alaria. The time required for metacercariae to become infective after encystement varies from few minutes to several months.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Ichthyology describes all aspects of fish from their classification, behavior, diversity, ecology, habits and uses. In the present book the whole subject matter has been divided into thirty chapters which includes introduction, classification, agnatha, class cyclostomes, super class gnathostomata, class elasmobranhi, subclass bradyodonti,classosteichtyes, subclass crossopterygii, order dipnoi, body shape and size, tegument, scales, colouration, fin, muscles and locomotion, skeletal system, food and feeding habits and alimentary canal, respiratory system, blood vascular system, swim bladder, weberian ossicles, nervous system, endocrine organ, exrecretory system, reproductive system, parental care, fish migration, special characters and adaptation in fishes.This textbook is primarily intended as a textbook for UG and PG courses of zoology, aquaculture and fisheries of Indian Universities. This publication would fulfill the needs of students, teachers, researchers, extension workers, zoologists, aquaculturists, technocrats, limnologists, aquatic ecologists, fisheries and marine biologists as well as by those who are engaged in commercial exploration of aquaculture and fisheries.

Muller (1773) for the first time coined the term "Cercaria" to describe microscopic animals with tails. It was used as generic name because the larval stages were considered adult trematodes as no one could suspect the need for a host change to complete life cycle. In early 19th century cercariae were also considered to be independent organisms of unknown taxonomic position. After study of Steenstrup (1842) the cercariae were regarded as larvae which attain sexual maturity after entering into gut of vertebrates. Diesing (1855) still considered them to be adults which later in 1858 he accepted as larval trematodes. With increasing knowledge, their importance in taxonomy was realised. Luhe (1909) made first serious effort to classify them. Our focus on Indian Fauna of Cercaria and Zoological Survey of India has been the lead as afar as basic research in malacology and helminthology in concerned. The two disciplines have grown up also most together. In fact, the thrust that was given to freshwater mollusc studies in the beginning of this century was largely due to the fact that these are intermediate hosts of helminth parasites, namely the flukes or the trematodes.
