Crustaceans Parasitic on Fishes
The American Biology Teacher, 1986 Most commercial and sport fishermen, especially those who frequent marine waters, are well acquainted with parasitic crustaceans scurrying about rapidly over the external surface of fishes. Sportsmen often refer to them as "fish lice" or "sea lice". Students of biology might also want to become familiar with these curious creatures, and would probably ...

Assessment of parasite virulence in a natural population of a planktonic crustacean [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2019 Understanding the impact of disease in natural populations requires an understanding of infection risk and the damage that parasites cause to their hosts (= virulence). However, because these disease traits are often studied and quantified under controlled laboratory conditions and with reference to healthy control hosts, we have little knowledge about

Infection with an acanthocephalan helminth reduces anxiety-like behaviour in crustacean host
Scientific Reports, 2022 Trophically transmitted heteroxenous parasites of diverse clades can decrease or reverse antipredator behaviours in their intermediate hosts, thereby increasing their chances of reaching their final hosts.

PLoS ONE, 2013 Hematodinium is a parasitic dinoflagellate and emerging pathogen of crustaceans. It preferably manifests in haemolymph of marine decapod crustaceans, killing a large variety of genera with significant impacts on fisheries worldwide.

Fecampiid flatworms parasitic in a tanaidacean crustacean
Journal of HelminthologyAbstract We report the first record of fecampiidan platyhelminths parasitic in tanaidacean crustaceans. Two fecampiidans (0.75 mm and 1.10 mm in length) were found in a female of Pseudotanais sp. (Pseudotanaidae; 1.75 mm in length) collected at 794 m depth off the southern coast of Japan, northwestern Pacific.

INFESTATION STUDY OF LIVONECA REDMANII (ISOPODA, CYMOTHOIDAE) ON SOLEA SOLEA IN LAKE QARUN, EGYPT [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2019 The study dealt with the infestation of Livoneca redmanii (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) on Solea solea in Lake Qarun, Egypt. 487 specimens of S. solea were examined to extract 99 crustacean parasites.

Occurrence of the Parasite Myosaccium ecaude in Thread Herrings from the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico
Parasitologia, 2023 Thread herrings (Opisthonema spp.) are economically important fish species in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. Knowledge of the parasitofauna of commercially exploited species is useful as it can increase our understanding of fish biology and ecology ...

The parasitic dinoflagellates of marine crustaceans
Annual Review of Fish Diseases, 1994 Parasitic dinoflagellates have recently emerged as significant disease agents of commer- cially important crustaceans. For example, epizootics of Hematodinium have seriously affected cer- tain crab and lobster fisheries. The parasitic dinoflagellates of crustaceans are, however, relatively unknown.
