Ceratothoa is a genus of isopod ectoparasites of teleost fish,[2][3] first described by James Dwight Dana in 1852.[1] Infection by Ceratothoa can cause anaemia, lesions, growth retardation, emaciation, and mortality in their fish hosts.[3]
Species
Currently, 26 valid species in this genus are recognized:[1]
C. carinata and C. oxyrrhynchaena were redescribed in 2013,[5] and C. angulata, C. capri, C. carinata, C. collaris, C. gilberti, C. gobii, C. guttata, C. italica, C. oestroides, and C. verrucosa in 2016.[6]
A number of taxa are species inquirendae:[1]
- Ceratothoa contracta (Miers, 1880)
- Ceratothoa deplanata Bovallius, 1885
- Ceratothoa gaudichaudii (H. Milne Edwards, 1840) (previously known as Ceratothoa rapax Heller, 1865)[7]
- Ceratothoa novaezelandiae Filhol, 1885
- Ceratothoa transversa (Richardson, 1901)
- Ceratothoa triglae Gourret, 1891
