Occurrence of sea lice, Caligus undulatus Shen and Li, 1959 (Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida: Caligidae) in plankton samples collected from Korea
Jong Sick Park
Abstract
We have conducted faunistic study of sea lice collected from marine plankton samples of western and southern coasts of Korea. These specimens were identified as Caligus undulatus Shen and Li, 1959, belonging to family Caligidae and order Siphonostomatoida with worldwide distribution. The range extension of C. undulatus is reported in addition to the previously known distributional range from the Northwest Pacific (China, Japan, and Korea), India, Brazil, and Mexico. This species can be distinguished from all previous reports with characteristics such as overall body proportions of both sexes, structure details of mouth appendages, armature of legs, and some variation in body size. The distributional range of C. undulatus is now given with its northern and south hemisphere limit being 40 to 10°N in the Indo-Pacific and 30°S in the Southwest Atlantic. This is the first record of its female occurring in Korea.
