Cymothoids are among the largest parasites of fishes in the world. These isopods associate with many commercially important fish species and attach themselves to the body or fins of the fishes. The isopods cause significant economic losses to fisheries by killing, stunting, or damaging these fishes. ... The serranid fish, Serranus cabrilla (Linnaeus, 1758) (the comber) is a commercial species and has a wide distribution (north Atlantic Sea [sic], North Sea and Mediterranean Sea). The comber is a demersal species found on rocks, and on sandy and muddy bottoms at depths of 1-500 [meters]. This is the main species captured by trawlers fishing in the Aegean Sea of the Turkish coast. N. orbignyi has been determined for the first time on S. cabrilla from the Turkish coasts within the frame of the present study.
