Abstract

Crustacean isopod parasites, particularly in the marine environment, are prevalent around warmer seas and can significantly impact local fish populations. Mothocya renardi, a notable species of isopod parasites, commonly infests fishes in shallow, turbid coastal waters. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence, taxonomy, and morphology of M. renardi infesting Strongylura leiura in the Arabian Sea around the northwest coast of India. Samples were collected from Dholai fishing harbor (Navsari District of Gujarat), during the post-monsoon months. Three specimens of S. leiura were found infected with pairs of male and female M. renardi in the brachial chambers, with all female parasites being brooded ovigerous. Detailed morphological analysis confirmed the presence of M. renardi, extending its known geographical range to the Arabian Sea.
印度古吉拉特邦阿拉伯海沿岸等足类寄生虫 Mothocya renardi 在寄主 Strongylura leiura 中的分布情况
甲壳类异足寄生虫,尤其是海洋环境中的寄生虫,在温度较高的海域非常普遍,会对当地鱼类种群造成严重影响。Mothocya renardi 是等足类寄生虫中的一个重要种类,通常寄生于浅而浑浊的沿海水域中的鱼类。本研究旨在调查印度西北海岸附近阿拉伯海中寄生于 Strongylura leiura 的 M. renardi 的发生、分类和形态。研究人员在季风过后的几个月里从 Dholai 渔港(古吉拉特邦纳夫萨里区)采集了样本。发现三条 S. leiura 标本的肱室中感染了成对的雌雄 M. renardi,所有雌性寄生虫均为卵生。详细的形态分析证实了 M. renardi 的存在,将其已知的地理范围扩大到了阿拉伯海。
