Materials and MethodsThe list of parasitic crustaceans of fishes in Brazil was based on extensive search of published records. This bibliographic review of the crustacean species reported from fishes in Brazilian waters was complemented with information from the Zoological Record, Biological Abstracts, Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts, Biological and Agricultural Index Plus and the Scopus. Data were compiled until March, 2013. In the case of parasitic copepods, only information not presented in the checklist of Copepoda parasites of fishes from Brazil by Luque and Tavares (2007) was included. The number of parasitic associations was calculated from the sum of the richness of species of parasites on each host species.The checklist follows the classification and systematic arrangement proposed by Boxshall and Halsey (2004) for Copepoda, and Young (1998) and Martin and Davis (2001) for other crustacean groups.The species of crustaceans are arranged according to taxonomic categories, within which the species are presented in alphabetical order, followed by hosts (specific name), site of infection, habitat, localities and references (between parentheses, in chronological order). In addition, the checklist also includes crustacean species identified only at the genus level and undetermined species. Crustacean names presented in the checklist follow the most recent taxonomic literature, but validity of individual taxa or reliability of their records was not critically examined by the present authors. Host species were arranged in taxonomic and then alphabetical order.The key to identification of the genera of parasitic crustaceans from fishes in Brazil has been produced on the basis of those by Delaney

“…The genus Caligus was first established by Müller (1785). A large number of Caligus species belonging to this genus have been reported worldwide (Carvajal, Gonzalez, & George–Nascimento, 1998; Öktener & Trilles, 2009; Özak et al, 2010; Sanches, Kerber, Paschoal, & Luque, 2012). All of these species could be characterized by specific generic features (Tansel & Fatih, 2012).…”

Copepods are a common component of ectoparasite assemblages of all kinds of fish, from all environments and ecosystems. In the present investigation, a total of 80 specimens of the rosy goatfish Parupeneus rubescens were randomly collected from the Arabian Gulf, and then transported to the laboratory in order to be dissected and examined for the presence of copepodid infections. Copepod parasites were recovered from the gills of the infected fish. One copepod species within the Caligidae family was identified and labeled as Caligus elongates von Nordmann, 1832. This copepod species examined using light and scanning electron microscopy to observe the most characteristic generic features. Morphological and morphometric characterizations revealed differences between the identified species and other related copepodid species. Therefore, the present study showed that the rosy goatfish is a new host for this Caligus species and added a new locality record for this infection.

“…org/10.1590/1519-6984.17014 Notes and Comments (With 1 figure) The family Caligidae, mainly Caligus and Lepeophtheirus species are widespread sea lice copepods that parasitize body surface, cavity of the mouth, the gills, and the operculum of teleosts and elasmobranchs (Ho et al, 2001). These parasites erode fishes epithelium leading secondary bacterial infections (Sanches et al, 2012). The sea lice of the family Caligidae are one of the most major health pathogens for farmed fish.…”

First record of Caligus mutabilis (Copepoda: Caligidae), in sea-farmed Mycteroperca microlepis (Perciformes: Serranidae) in Brazil

Abstract: Sea lice (copepods) are widespread pathogens in marine teleost cultivation around the world. The sea louse Caligus mutabilis Wilson, 1905, is recorded here for the first time in sea-farmed gag grouper, Mycteroperca microlepis, in Brazil.
