Crustacean parasites absorb their nourishment directly from hosts for feeding. The present study was aimed at collecting information as possible on this so far neglected group of isopod parasites of the Carangid fishes of Parangipettai coastal environment. A very little information is available regarding the isopod parasites of Carangid fishes. In the present study six species of isopods belonging to 3 genera were found on four species of fishes. The distribution of Catoessa boscii is found throughout the year.
甲壳类寄生虫直接从宿主身上吸收营养以供进食。本研究旨在尽可能收集有关帕兰吉佩泰沿海环境中鲹科鱼类的等足类寄生虫这一迄今为止被忽视的群体的信息。关于鲹科鱼类的等足类寄生虫的信息非常少。在本研究中,在四种鱼类身上发现了属于3个属的六种等足类动物。博氏卡托等足虫全年都有分布。
