The parasitic isopod Schiöedte and Meinert, 1884 was recorded from the buccal cavity of the host (Hamilton, 1822) collected from Chilka Lake, Odisha in 1924, but its identification was doubtful as mentioned by the author in his book on "Fauna of Chilika Lake: Tanaidacea and Isopoda". The present report of parasitic isopod from the buccal cavity of the host Cuvier, 1833 collected from the water of Bay of Bengal, Gopalpur-on-Sea confirms its occurrence along the Odisha coast. The record of the isopod parasite (H. Milne Edwards, 1840) from the branchial cavity of the host (Cuvier, 1833) collected from the water of Bay of Bengal, Gopalpur-on-Sea is the first record of this parasite from the coastal water of Odisha, India. The record of Bowman and Tareen, 1983 from the caudal peduncle of the host fish species Cuvier, 1829, and the isopod Milne Edwards, 1840 from the host fish species (Linnaeus, 1758) are the new host records for these respective parasites.
