Abstract
Anilocra physodes (Linnaeus, 1758) (Isopoda, Cymothoidae) is reported for the first time on Nemipterus randalli Russell, 1986) (Pisces; Nemipteridae) from the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. The present study aims to report a new host species for A. physodes in the Turkish Mediterranean waters. Also, the host species for A. physodes and the host preferences with it, according to fish family distributions, are detailed in this study.
