First record of Lernaeolophus sultanus ( Milne-Edwards,1840) (Copepoda, Pennelidae) from the greater weever Trachinus draco (L.).
Lernaeolophus sultanus (Milne-Edwards, 1840) is reported from Trachinus draco (L.), collected in the Bay of Bizerte off Tunisia. The cephalic holdfast of the parasite was embedded in the head of the fish, causing serious damage to the host tissues and resulting in deformities of the bony vault of the mouth. This is the first report of L. sultanus from the greater weever.
