Fish parasites are an important part of aquatic biodiversity and knowing these species and their interactions with their hosts helps in monitoring the aquatic biota. The present study investigated the ectoparasite crustacean fauna of ten fish species from the upper Araguari River, in the state of Amapá, northern Brazil. A total of 508 fish were collected and analyzed from July to November 2014, of which 82.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study reports the first discovery of the isopod parasite Artystone trysibia on the cichlid fish Caquetaia spectabilis in the eastern Amazon, specifically in Amapá, Brazil.
  • - In May 2018, researchers collected C. spectabilis specimens from the lower Jari River, finding that 33.3% were infected with A. trysibia located in the tissue between their pelvic fins.
  • - Despite the parasitization, the fish showed no signs of injury or hemorrhage, indicating that the parasite may not have severely impacted the host’s health.
