A new myxosporean, Myxobolus etroplisp. nov., was
found to infect the bulbus arteriosus of Etroplus
suratensis (Bloch) from brackishwater lagoons of
Muttukkadu, Chennai coast, India. A survey from
May 1993 to October 1994 revealed a prevalence
rate of 33.7% of this parasite. Macroscopic
discoloured foci/cysts were seen in the bulbus
arteriosus of the fish. The parasite showed strict
host and site specificity. Histopathology showed
that the infection was restricted to the bulbus. This
