“…Isopods associate with many species of commercially important fishes around the world and cause significant economic losses to fisheries by killing, stunting, or damaging these fishes [1][2][3] . The relationship of diet with the function morphology of mouth parts have been studied for many crustaceans.…”

“…Only two species specifically attach up-side-down on the roof of the mouth of fishes: Ceratothoa parallela (Otto, 1828) and Olencira praegustator (Latrobe, 1802) (Trilles 1968(Trilles , 1972Williams and BunkleyWilliams 1999). The first species parasitizes several species of fishes (mostly sparids) in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean (Papapanagiotou and Trilles 2001). They also found it damages cage-cultured fishes.…”

A female Elthusa raynaudii was found attached on the roof of the mouth facing inward in a lantern shark, Etmopterus sp. in Taiwan. This was backwards to all known cymothoid attachments in the mouths of fishes. This isopod naturally occurs in the gill chamber of fishes. The attachment must have occurred accidentally. This is only the fourth time this isopod has been collected in the northern hemisphere and the first for Taiwan and this host.

“…However, an increased parasitic prevalence with the onset of the monsoon rains was sometimes observed. The high temperatures of the ambient water during this season might be conductive to a prolonged presence and proliferation of some cymothoids (Papapanagiotou andTrilles 2001, Rajkumar et al 2005). Therefore, further investigations will be very useful to resolve this question.…”

The presently reported study investigated seasonal fluctuations in the prevalence in four species of Nerocila infesting commercially exploited marine fishes representing the families Engraulidae, Clupeidae and Ambassidae, from the Malabar coast (Kerala, India). Seven of 56 fish species belonging to 23 families were infested by either one or two species of Nerocila. All the collected Nerocila species showed significant seasonal fluctuations in the prevalence of infestation, reaching maximum from October through April and minimum (or total absence of the parasites) from May through September. Such fluctuations were analyzed based on environmental parameters. Body surface, postero-ventral side of the head and the lateral line of the host fish form the major infestation site for the recovered Nerocila species. Skin lesion and hemorrhages were observed on the fish parasitized with these cymothoids.
