Abstract
One hundred thirteen and 53 adult females of the mesoparasitic pennellid copepod Lernaeenicus ramosus Kirtisinghe, 1956 were found infecting a Hong Kong grouper Epinephelus akaara (Temminck & Schlegel) and a yellow grouper Epinephelus awoara (Temminck & Schlegel) from the southern Sea of Japan off Shimane Prefecture, western Japan in October and November 2004, respectively. These findings constitute the first records of L. ramosus from the Sea of Japan. The skin near the base of the dorsal fin was most heavily infected. Epinephelus awoara is a new host of L. ramosus.
