鉴定从东马来西亚美里海洋鱼类中记录到的等足类寄生虫。在本研究中，报告了三个属的四种等足类足类，包括Cymothoa eremita、Lobothorax typepus、Nerocila longispina和Nerocila loveni。之前马来西亚也报道过Nerocila longispina和N.lovenia，另外两种Cymothoids C.eremita和L.typus是东马美里海岸的首次记录。首次在世界动物群中确定了 N.lovenionChirocentrus dorab 的新宿主。计算寄生虫学指数。还观察了寄生虫在宿主上的附着部位。这些寄生虫会造成鳃、眼睛和内脏器官（包括鱼鳔）的损伤。海洋鱼类寄生虫学是水产科学中一个快速发展的领域。
To identify the isopod parasite, which has been recorded from Miri, East Malaysian marine fishes. During the present study, four cymothoid isopods are reported three genera, includingCymothoa eremita,Lobothorax typus,Nerocila longispinaandNerocila loveni.Nerocila longispinaandN.loveniare also previously reported from Malaysia and two additional cymothoidsC.eremitaandL.typusare reported for the first record of Miri coast, East Malaysia. New hosts were identified forN.lovenionChirocentrus dorabfor the first time in the world fauna. The Parasitological indexes were calculated. The site of attachment of the parasites on their hosts was also observed. These parasites can cause the damage in gill, eye and internal organ including swim bladder. Marine fish parasitology is a rapidly developing field of aquatic science.
