Thirteen isopods, composed of 9 E. californica and 4 E. vulgaris, were found in the right gill cavities. For each parasite, the host fish, parasitic specificity and prevalence are given. 1) identified as Ltroneca vulgaris (Stimpson) was found attached to the middle of the gill arch of nearly fifty per cent of the specimens examined. The Cymothoidae (Crustacea, Isopoda) are haematophagous parasitic isopods attached to the skin, the fins, the gills or the tongue of the teleost fishes (Trilles 1969, 1994; Brusca et al.
