This scientific review explores the global distribution and host interactions of parasitic isopods within the genus Cymothoa. Researchers have identified 23 distinct species that primarily target the mouth and gills of various fish, causing significant physical stress.
We examine how these infestations can cause major economic damage to fisheries by directly hindering host growth. While most of these parasites exhibit high specificity for certain fish families and restricted geographic regions, a few species show a much broader range. The study highlights that these infestations are most prevalent in warmer equatorial waters, underscoring the strong influence of environmental temperature on their survival. Ultimately, the authors advocate for enhanced taxonomic training and extensive sampling to better understand these aquatic pests.
