occurrence of the pandarid parasite, Echthrogaleus denticulatus
as an ectoparasite on the pelagic thresher
shark (Alopias pelagicus) from the Indian
EEZ of Andaman Sea. A total of 36 parasite specimens were
found aggregated near the cloacal aperture of eight pelagic thresher
sharks caught as bycatch by multifilament tuna longliner
MFV
Blue Marlin during July 2015 and February 2016 voyages
in Andaman and Nicobar waters. This is the first report of ectoparasite
from the Indian EEZ of the Andaman Sea. Keywords: Andaman Sea; ectoparasite; first report; MFV Blue
