| Abstract: | The present investigation reports the occurrence and prevalence of the parasitic cymothoid, Norileca indica infesting bigeyescad, Selar crumenophthalmus from the Andaman Islands. Damage in the form of erosion of gill filament and necrosis in the gill chamber of the host fish, with a prevalence of 26.08% and a mean intensity of 1.5 is recorded. Molecular characterization of the mitochondrial COI and 28S rDNA genes is done to establish its phylogenetic status with its known congener. The present report is the first record of N. indica infesting S. crumenophthalmus from the Andaman Islands. |
