Abstract

The parasitic rhizocephalan barnacle, Sacculina spp. were observed in the live Blue swimmer crab, Portunus pelagicus while collecting broodstock for crab seed production. Rhizocephalans have been reported from different aquatic habitat like the deep ocean to pelagic, intertidal, brackish water habitat and a few species occur in freshwater also.
