Abstract
A new parasitic relationship between Ichthyoxenus fushanensis, an isopod parasite, and its host, Candidia barbatus, collected from a mountain stream, Hapen Creek, in northern Taiwan, is described. A host fish was easily identified by the presence of an external orifice at the base of the right pectoral fin. A pair of I. fushanensis were found in the body cavity of the host. Therefore, the present finding suggests that the infestation of I. fushanensis is likely no longer specific to Varicorhinus barbatulus.
