Description An investigation was made to isolate and identify
parasites from Charybdis lucifera landed at Cochin
Fisheries Harbour in January, 2018. The carapace,
branchial chambers and gills of each crab was observed for the presence of octolasmids. Octolasmis
spp. are generally known as stalked barnacles or
pedunculate barnacles. They are common in shallow
waters and often found attached to the exoskeleton
of the decapod crustacea, including crabs. This can
affect the marketing of such infected commercially
important crabs.
