The parasitic isopod Schiöedte and Meinert, 1884 was recorded from the buccal cavity of the host (Hamilton, 1822) collected from Chilka Lake, Odisha in 1924, but its identification was doubtful as mentioned by the author in his book on "Fauna of Chilika Lake: Tanaidacea and Isopoda". The present report of parasitic isopod from the buccal cavity of the host Cuvier, 1833 collected from the water of Bay of Bengal, Gopalpur-on-Sea confirms its occurrence along the Odisha coast. The record of the isopod parasite (H. Milne Edwards, 1840) from the branchial cavity of the host (Cuvier, 1833) collected from the water of Bay of Bengal, Gopalpur-on-Sea is the first record of this parasite from the coastal water of Odisha, India. The record of Bowman and Tareen, 1983 from the caudal peduncle of the host fish species Cuvier, 1829, and the isopod Milne Edwards, 1840 from the host fish species (Linnaeus, 1758) are the new host records for these respective parasites.
1884年的寄生等足类动物席德特和迈纳特，于1924年从奥里萨邦奇尔卡湖采集的宿主（汉密尔顿，1822年）的口腔中被记录下来，但正如作者在其关于《奇尔卡湖动物群：异足目和等足目》一书中所提到的，其鉴定存在疑问。本报告中，从孟加拉湾戈帕尔布尔海滨水域采集的宿主居维叶（1833年）的口腔中发现的寄生等足类动物，证实了其在奥里萨邦海岸的存在。从孟加拉湾戈帕尔布尔海滨水域采集的宿主居维叶（1833年）的鳃腔中发现的等足类寄生虫（H. 米尔恩·爱德华兹，1840年），是该寄生虫在印度奥里萨邦沿海水域的首次记录。从宿主鱼类居维叶（1829年）的尾柄中发现的鲍曼和塔林（1983年），以及从宿主鱼类（林奈，1758年）中发现的等足类动物米尔恩·爱德华兹（1840年），分别是这些寄生虫新的宿主记录。
