Abstract

Nineteen rockfishes representing two species in the family Scorpaenidae were collected from Oregon Coast Aquarium in July 2003 and examined for parasitic copepods. The parasitic copepods were taken from the gills of Sebastes crameri and fins of S. melanops. With regard to the prevalence of copepod 22.2% of the fishes were infected by C. uncinata, and 30.0% by N. robusta. Intensity of infections of Clavella uncinata to Sebastes melanops, showed a range of 4 to 6 with a mean of 5.0 per fish while Neobrachiella robusta to S. crameri was 1 to 6 with a mean of 2.7.
