Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826), is an ectoparasite found in a variety of fish species. This parasite was detected on caudal pedoncule of black seabram (Spondyliosoma cantharus) hunted in Balikesir. This is the first report of C. oestroides in the black seabram (Spondyliosoma cantharus).

Between 2018 and 2020, 696 fish belonging to two species of sharks from the Family Triakidae ( and were collected from the coasts of Tunisia and inspected for parasites. Six copepod taxa ( Steenstrup & Lütken, 1861, Wilson, 1932, Van Beneden, 1853, Heller, 1865 and Krøyer, 1837, sp.), four isopod species ( (Linnaeus, 1758), (H.

The aim of this work was to present a preliminary knowledge of the parasitic copepods of marine fish of Turkey. In this study, four parasitic crustaceans were reported from five different fish species found in Turkish seas: Lepeophtheirus europaensis (Zeddam, Berrebi, Renaud, Raibaut & Gabrion, 1988) was found on the gills of the European flounder, Platichtys flesus (Linnaeus, 1758 (Pleuronectidae); Nerocila bivittata (Risso, 1816) on caudal peduncles of east Atlantic peacock wrasse, Symphodus tinca (Linnaeus, 1758) (Labridae); Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826), on the mouth base of European pilchard, Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) (Clupeidae); Anilocra physodes (Linnaeus, 1758), on the body surface of gilthead seabreams, Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758 (Sparidae) and on horse mackerel, Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Carangidae). Also, a list of the parasitic copepods previously reported from marine fishes of Turkey since 1931 is given, with a new report of the host species, the localities where they were collected and the corresponding authors.

Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso, 1826) (Isopoda: Cymothoida) is a protandric hermaphrodite parasite on a wide range of wild fish species. In recent years it has become a threat to cage-reared fish facilities, where high fish density provides optimal conditions for transmission. Its impact on fish health and economical gain is significant, varying from growth retardation and decreased immunocompetency to direct loss due to mass mortalities of juvenile fishes.

The effects of the fish parasitic isopod, Ceratothoa oestroides (Risso), on haematological parameters of its cage-cultured sea bass host, Dicentrarchus labrax (L.), were studied. Analyses of blood parameters (cell counts, haemoglobin content and haematocrit) were carried out on parasitized and unparasitized sea bass from a fish farm in Turkey.
