Infestation of isopod parasites in commercial marine fishes [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2010 Crustacean ectoparasites on marine fishes are diverse. Many species of fishes are infected by cymothoids (Crustacea, Isopoda, Cymothoidae). They are blood-feeding; several species settle in the buccal cavity of fish, others live in the gill chamber or on the body surface including the fins.

Distribution of the parasitic isopod Tachaea chinensis in China [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractTachaea chinensis Thielemann, 1910 (Isopoda: Corallanidae) is a branchial ectoparasite that attaches onto shrimps and prawns. However, the distribution of T. chinensis in China, especially its epidemiology, remains unclear. We determined the prevalence of T.

Problems caused by isopod parasites in commercial fishes [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2012 Crustaceans are found in every type of aquatic ecosystem, and there are species adapted to extremes of temperature, pressure, salinity, and even anoxia. Parasitic isopods are typically marine and usually inhabit the warmer seas. They are blood-feeding; several species settle in the buccal cavity of fish, others live in the gill chamber or on the body ...

Practical methods for culturing parasitic gnathiid isopods
International Journal for Parasitology, 2020 The reliance of parasites on their hosts makes host-parasite interactions ideal models for exploring ecological and evolutionary processes. By providing a consistent supply of parasites, in vivo monocultures offer the opportunity to conduct experiments on a scale that is generally not otherwise possible.

New occurrence of parasitic isopods from Indian fishes [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2012 Until now, 36 species belonging to the family Cymothoidae (Crustacea, Isopoda) were recorded from Indian fishes. In this study, ten additional cymothoids are reported in India, most of them for the first time. They parasitize nine fish species, several of them being new host species.

Hemioniscus balani Buchholz in northern Norway (Isopoda, Cryptoniscina)
Fauna Norvegica, 1983 The parasitic isopod Hemioniscus balani Buchholz is widespread and common on the outer coasts of northern Norway. Infection percentages show a clear vertical gradient, from 0 % in the high intertidal Balanus balanoides belt to a maximum (up to 70-80 ...

Multiple parasitic crustacean infestation on belonid fish Strongylura strongylura
ZooKeys, 2014 Simultaneous multiple infestation of parasitic crustacean species involving a cymothoid isopod, Cymothoa frontalis Milne Edward, 1840 and four species of copepods such as Lernanthropus tylosuri Richiardi, 1880, Caligodes lacinatus Kroyer, 1863 ...
