“…Corallanidae are a small family which are free-living or parasitic to aquatic animals, especially fish [12,46]. All two identified isopod species from the family Corallanidae found in this survey belong to genus Argathona.…”

“…Isopods were removed and keep in 70% ethanol. Mouthparts and appendages of isopods were dissected for identification using the key of [13,15,25,32,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. The taxonomy was updated according to the WoRMS catalogue [50].…”

“…Argathona have a maxillule with an exopod terminating in an unguis-like point at the base of which lie one or more recurved hook-like processes, an endopod with a truncate lobe, a mandible with a narrow cutting edge, a large triarticulate palp, and a molar process is present [12]. Twelve species of Argathona are found in tropical and subtropical marine habitats throughout the Indo-Western Pacific at a depth range of 8-267 m. [46]. Fish temporarily hosting genera of Argathona included Epinephelus, Diagramma, Cromileptes, Plectopomus, Variola (Serranidae), Pseudolabras (Labridae), Lutjanus (Lutjanidae), Tetraodon (Tetraodontidae) and Muraena (Muraenidae).…”

From a total of 4140 marine fishes examined, eight species of parasitic isopods were reported from marine fishes in the Gulf of Thailand. These isopods were identified in two families, Corallanidae (Argathona macronema and Argathona rhinoceros) and Cymothoidae (Cymothoa eremita, Cymothoa elegans, Smenispa irregularis, Nerocila sundaica, Norileca indica and Norileca triangulata). Most of these parasitic isopods were found in the buccal cavity of their fish hosts with one host recorded as follows: C. eremita was found from Nemipterus hexodon, C. elegans was found from Scatophagus argus, N. sundaica was found from Saurida tumbil. The majority of the isopod specimens recorded in this study was S. irregularis, which was found in the buccal cavities of five host fish, Pampus argentius, Alepes melanoptera, Caranx hippos, Parastromateus niger and Terapon jarbua, with a prevalence of 11.67%, 10.43%, 9.78%, 6.10% and 4.21%, respectively. Argathona rhinoceros was found in the nasal cavity and branchial cavity of Epinephelus coioides, whereas A. macronema and N. triangulata were found on the skin of Epinephelus coioides and Seriolina nigrofasciata, respectively. The highest species diversity was found in E. coioides, which harbored two species of parasitic isopods, A. macronema and A. rhinoceros. Cymothoa eremita, C. elegans, S. irregularis and N. triangulata were recorded for the first time in the Gulf of Thailand. The reported discovery of C. eremita, S. irregularis, N. sundaica and N. triangulata in their fish hosts were new recorded hosts. Moreover, A. macronema and N. triangulata were found for the first time in the central Indo-Pacific region.

“…For example, Lanocira gardineri, is widely distributed from western Australia (Bruce and Sidabalok 2011) and the Maldives, Kenya, and Madagascar (Delaney 1989). Delaney (1989) recorded it from the Khor Abdullah estuary, Iraq, in the northwestern Gulf. Tolerance of salinity fluctuations is believed to be a primary reason for the wide distribution of this species throughout the Indian Ocean.…”

Thirty-eight species of Isopoda, belonging to 13 families and 29 genera, are listed from Kuwait based on previous literature records (of 17 species) and collections carried out along Kuwait’s coastal and subtidal zones during the present study. The majority of species belongs to the suborder Cymothoida (23), followed by Sphaeromatidea (9), Oniscidea (3), Valvifera (2), and Asellota (1). In total, 25 species were collected and identified from 12 families and 22 genera from Kuwaiti coastal and subtidal areas. These include eight families, 15 genera, and 21 species recorded for the first time from Kuwait. Isopod diversity was highest in the sandy rock areas, including southern Kuwait, particularly in Al-Khiran and Al-Nuwaiseeb, and in mixed habitat (muddy, rocky, and sandy) intertidal transects such as in Failaka Island. The species number increased from the subtidal and lowest zones into the high tidal zone. Isopods were found in sandy substrata, among shells, cobbles, rocks, dead corals, and algae.
