Abstract
The discovery of parasitic isopod Tachaea kamphaengsaenensis sp. n. on freshwater prawn Macrobrachium lanchesteri (De Man, 1911) is described herein. It was found through an extensive survey of cultured and natural ponds in six provinces of Thailand: Bangkok, Chonburi, Nonthaburi, Suphan Buri, Pathum Thani, and Nakhon Pathom. This parasitic isopod species exerts detrimental effects on the prawn’s exoskeleton and damages its eggs. The morphology of Tachaea kamphaengsaenensis sp. n. is distinguished from other species in the genus by the distinct pattern of the setae on the pereopods, pleopods, and maxillipeds. This species also differs morphologically from the other Tachaea species previously reported in Thailand. Furthermore, molecular data analysis reveals a monophyletic divergence from T. chinensis and T. spongillicola. This paper presents the first documented occurrence of T. kamphaengsaenensis sp. n., marking the first record of this parasite in M. lanchesteri and the second record of a prawn-parasitic isopod in Thailand.

期刊介绍:
Aquaculture Reports will publish original research papers and reviews documenting outstanding science with a regional context and focus, answering the need for high quality information on novel species, systems and regions in emerging areas of aquaculture research and development, such as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, urban aquaculture, ornamental, unfed aquaculture, offshore aquaculture and others. Papers having industry research as priority and encompassing product development research or current industry practice are encouraged.
