PARASITIC COPEPODS ON THE FISHES OF THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA -PART I. CYCLOPOIDA-

Abstract

New hosts and locality records are reported for 2 spp: Orbitacolax hapalogenyos and Anchistrotos moa; and a new sp of chondracanthid, which the authors propose to name Pseudacantho can thopsis rohdei, is described. In addition, a female copepodid and a juvenile stage of P.rohdei are described, together with a note on their metamorphosis. A map, showing the Great Barrier Reef and its various islands from which most of the collections were made, is included
