Abstract
A specimen of Limnotrachelobdella okae (Moore, 1924) was found on the skin near the base of the dorsal fin of a greater amberjack Seriola dumerili cultured in coastal waters of the Bungo Channel (western North Pacific Ocean) off Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku Island, Japan in February 2009. This finding represents a new host record for L. okae, and S. dumerili is the fourth fish host of the leech in Japanese mariculture. Although many juvenile greater amberjack including the fish examined were cultured at the sampling site after imported from near Xiamen, China in January 2009, the leech found is thought to have infested the fish in Japan because it is distributed in the nearby Seto Inland Sea and is known to be parasitic on Japanese amberjack Seriola quinqueradiata cultured near the site.
