Abstract

Specimens of the taeniacanthid copepod Biacanthus pleuronichthydis (Yamaguti, 1939) were collected manually from the body surface of four broodstock candidates of bastard halibut (Paralichthys olivaceus) originally captured in the Seto Inland Sea, off Awaji-shima Island, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan as well as on the bottom of an indoor hatchery tank following a 10% saline water bath of ten other broodstock candidates of the same species. This is the first report of P. olivaceus as a host for B. pleuronichthydis.
