Abstract
Ichthyophthirius multifiliis is one of the parasitic diseases of fish infecting both farmed
and wild freshwater fishes at all ages. This parasite penetrates into the fish skin epidermis
and creates white spots on the skin accordingly, the disease caused by this parasite is also
called white spot disease. Formalin, chloramine-T, malachite green, and other chemical
compounds may be used against this disease; however, each of these compounds leads
to harm to humans and the environment in some way; hence, it seems necessary to find
natural alternative compounds to treat this disease. This study aimed at determining the
effectiveness of alcoholic extract of Terminalia catappa L. at different concentrations (0-
850 mg/L) and exposure times (1-3 h) in vitro. The findings were statistically compared
with those of the control and positive control groups (formalin at a dose of 15 ppm). The
results of the present study revealed that the effectiveness of T. catappa L. alcoholic
extract on the theront stage of the I. multifiliis parasite is a function of time and
concentration and with increasing concentration and time, its effect will enhance. The
results of this study indicated that after two hours, a dose of 850 mg/L killed 100% of the
theronts and it is the most appropriate dose, even though the possibility of applying this
dose to treat live fish should be investigated.
