Abstract
Seasonal variation of the infection by three species of symbiotic copepods in clam, Tresus keenae was investigated in south coast of Korea. The prevalence and abundance of three symbiotic copepods showed seasonal variation with a peak in winter. Reproduction of the copepods occurs from early autumn to spring as indicated by higher ratio of gravid copepods. The frequency distribution of Lichomolgus inflatus, Pseudomyicola spinosus and Anthessius progectus in their host population could be fitted with negative binominal distribution. Results from the present study suggest that seasonal fluctuation in prevalence, relative density and mean intensity is related to temperature and life history of the symbiotic copepods.
