SmugMug > all-time keyword > parasitic > This 31 mm long isopod was given to me by commercial fisherman Clive Brown who pots for crab and lobsters off Guernsey's south coast. This isopod fell out of one of Clive Brown's crab pots onto the gunwale of his boat. He collected it and gave it to me on 30 January 2008. Dr Tammy Horton from Southampton Oceanography Centre has identified this isopod as belonging to the family aegidae. This individual superficially resembles the Anilocra parasites belonging to the isopod family cymothoidae found attached to many species of fish found in Guernsey waters but in this individual the coxal plates are more sharply pointed and the 4th to 7th pair of pereiopods (legs) are ambulatory and not prehensile (suitable for gripping) as they are in the family cymothoidae. The uropods lying next to the telson (tail fan) are shorter than in female Anilocra found on Guernsey fishes. Identification of this species is on-going. The parasitic isopod may have visible parasites itself and this is being determined too. This species does not appear in Professor Naylor's book on "British Marine Isopods".
