Özet
Bu çalışmada, Antalya Körfezi’nde 2015 Şubat ayında trol avcılığı ile bazı balıklardan parazitik isopodlar (Anilocra frontalis ve Ceratothoa capri ) toplandı. Bu isopodlar yassı solungaçlılar (Elasmobranch) üzerinde ilk defa gözlendi. Bu üç konakçı (Raja miraletus, Sphyraena sphyraena, Spicara maena) A. frontalis ve C. capri için yeni konakçılardır.
