Taxonomy and Host Associations of Some Parasitic Copepods (Crustacea) from Pelagic Teleost Fishes

Abstract

DURING THE SPRING OF 1963 the senior author was fortunate enough to participate in the second cruise of the United States Research Vessel "Anton Bruun" during the International Indian Ocean Expedition. This paper is an analysis made of the copepod parasites collected from pelagic teleost fishes, other than istiophorids, during this cruise. The copepods collected from both elasmobranch fishes and istiophorid teleosts were given to Dr. Roger Cressey of the Smithsonian Institution.
