Abstract :
Cymothoids are among the largest parasites of fishes in the world. These isopods associate with many commercially important fish species and attach themselves to the body or fins of the fishes (Brusca, 1981). The isopods cause significant economic losses to fisheries by killing, stunting, or damaging these fishes (Ravichandran et al., 2009).
