220 OCCURRENCE OF CALIGUS CORYPHAENAE ON THUNNUS THYNNUS BY HOGANS (1985): CORRECTIONS (COPEPODA, CALIGIDAE) BY BRUCE B. COLLETTE National Marine Fisheries Service Systematics Laboratory and ROGER F. CRESSEY Department of Invertebrate Zoology, both National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. 20560, U.S.A. The recent report by Hogans (1985) of Caligus coryphaenae Steenstrup & Lutken, 1861, from bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus (L., 1758), from Prince Edward Island is marred by an error of omission and an error of interpreta- tion. Hogans apparently referred only to the host-parasite list in Cressey et al. (1983) and did not examine Cressey & Cressey (1980) which was cited as the source of the complete host-parasite data. Caligus coryphaenae was reported from Thunnus thynnus from several localities off the east coast of the United States (Grand Bahama Is. to Gloucester, Mass.) by Cressey & Cressey (1980: 23) reducing the significance of its presence on T. thynnus from Prince Edward Island. However, Hogans does cite a report of C. coryphaenae "from the red tuna (Thunnus thynnus L., 1758) captured in the Red Sea by Tiews (1957)". Thunnus thynnus does not occur in the Red Sea (or even north of the Tropic of Capricorn in the Indian Ocean, Collette & Nauen, 1983). Tiews referred to the "Roten Thun (Thunnus thynnus) in der Nordsee" - North Sea, not Red Sea. LITERATURE CITED COLLETTE, B. B. & C. E. NAUEN, 1983. Scombrids of the world.
