Parasitic fish diseases constitute one of the most
important problems in fisheries sector. Among fish
parasites, cymothoids are obligatory parasites, infesting
mostly commercially important fishes. They
are protandric hermaphrodites and blood suckers,
living on the skin, gill filaments, or in the mouth
of the fishes. These parasites retard growth and
cause emaciation followed by death. Pathological
conditions resulting from parasitic diseases assume
high magnitude of epidemics under crowded and
other unnatural conditions among fish.Isopod parasite
of the family Cymothoidae under order
Beloniformes have been reported from about 350
fish species and over 80% of these occurrence are
from tropical and subtropical seas, majority being
from the Indo-Malaysian archipelago (Lester, 1995).
