Water enters the crab hypobranchial chamber through openings at the bases of the thoracic appendages, and this occurs as a result of negative pressure created in the branchial chamber by the pumping action of the scaphognathites (Arudpragasm and Naylor, 1964a, b; Hughes et al.

When the octolasmids inhabit branchial chambers of the crabs, they occupy space on the gills surface normally available for gaseous exchange and can severely impair host respiration (Hudson and Lester, 1994).
