Two copepods and three isopods, representing five families of Crustacea, are noted from ten hosts, eight of these representing new host records. Cardiodectes rubosus (Copepoda: Pennellidae) is reported from the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. Excorallana tricornis (Isopoda: Corallanidae) may be a more important fish parasite than previously thought.
