Keywords:
Ecto-Parsite, First report, Isopod, Norileca
Abstract
During a local survey on Shankarpur, West Bengal, East coast of India authors came across some specimens of Norileca indica Milne-Edwards, 1840 with its host fish Rastrelliger kanagurta (Cuvier, 1816). The present report communicate here on the occurrence of Norileca indica Milne-Edwards, 1840 first time from the Northern part of east coast of India.
