Notes:
Infestations of Livoneca sp. occur on the striped therapon, Helotes sexlineatus, in Kuwait waters. Infestation rate decreases as depth increases, and some infested fish were found in all samples examined; the occurrence of infested fish could not be used as a biological tag. One year and four year old fish were uninfested. Two and three year old fish showed different infestation rates (4.1% and 0.9 % respectively). No striped therapon carried more than one parasite.
