| Abstract |
Anilocra physodes (Linnaeus, 1758) (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) is reported for the first time on Phycis blennoides (Brünnich, 1768) (Pisces; Phycidae) from the North Aegean Sea Coasts of Turkey. The present paper aims to present the morphological characters of Anilocra physodes from Turkey. Some morphological characters of this parasitic isopod are illustrated. A new host species for Anilocra physodes and the host’s preferences with it, according to family characteristics, habitat selections, feeding habits, are presented. |
