A survey has been conducted to collect copepod parasites from Gazza achlamys (Jordan & Starks, 1917) and Ariomma indica (Day, 1871) off Visakhapatnam coast. Altogether, seven copepod species were identified. They are Caligus kuroshino (Shiino, 1960), Bomolochus decapteri (Yamaguti, 1936), Bomolochus nothrus (Wilson, 1913), Pseudartacolax lateolabracis (Yamaguti et al., 1959), Pumiliopes opisthopteri (Shen, 1957), Lernanthropus amphitergum (Pearse, 1951) and Lernanthropus ilishae (Chin, 1948). A list of hosts parasites and brief description of these parasites has given in this paper.

The research work was carried out to assess the dietary qualities of spiny lobsters collected from Visakhapatnam fishing harbour, situated on the northeast coast of Andhra Pradesh. The species selected were Panulirus homarus (Linnaeus, 1758), P. ornatus (Fabricius, 1798), P. versicolor (Latreille, 1804), and P. polyphagus (Herbst, 1793). The species were morphometrically measured, and their tissue was analyzed for the comparative proximate composition (Moisture, Protein, Lipid, and Ash) on a dry weight basis. Protein content was found to be high in all the lobster species. Highest protein content was observed in P. homarus (mg/g), followed by P. ornatus and P. versicolor (mg/g). Moisture percentage was 72.7, 75.7, 76.2, and 74.8% respectively. In addition, four minerals were analysed (Ca, Na, K, and Mg) in the present study. Calcium was observed maximum in all the species, and Magnesium was recorded minimum in all the lobsters.

Dumping of industrial wastes into the sea is a common factor in and near by coastal cities where by there are mass mortalities of fishes as well as health deterioration of fish health.  These fishes are prone to secondary infections by microbial and eukaryotic parasitic species.  In the present study a survey has been made on Johnius aneus for copepod parasites infection.  The study has been conducted+ for 10 months.  3 species of parasites were recorded-Lernanthropus Otolith, Pillai, 1963 Caligus annualaris Yamaguti, 1954 and Brachiella albida Ranganekar, 1956.  To know the host parasite interaction, prevalence and Mean Intensity of overall parasites and individual parasite species have been studied.  It is found that over all prevalence is high being 44%, whereas Mean intensity is less being 1.6.  This gives an overall view of parasitization of copepods on the fish Johnius.  It indicates that infection with copepod parasites is common but not heavy.

Copepod Parasites

A collection of copepods from marine fishes, mainly elasmobranchs from South India was examined. Nine species are described of which six are new, one belonging to a new genus. The species described are Caligus dasyaticus Rangnekar, C. lepeophtheropsis sp.nov. Pseudopetalus dussumieri (Rangnekar), Dissonus sp., Nesippus vespa Kirtisinghe, Kroyeria minuta sp.nov., Eudactylina lancifera sp. nov., E. alata sp.nov., and Eudactylinopsis curvatus gen.nov., sp.nov.
