The damage caused by them resembles that of other copepods but the most serious effect of isopod infection is destruction of host tissue resulting from the pressure of the parasites body [25].

The activity of [Na.sup.+]/[K.sup.+] ATPase enzyme, which is strongly implicated in sodium transport, has been measured in the pleopod gills of isopod Idotea wosnesenskii, acclimated to different media, suggesting their role in inward ionic transport from dilute media (Holliday 1988).

We present the first empirical evidence of sound production in the aquatic isopod. On the exoskeletal surface of these animals, we found file-like structures that are most probably the acoustic organs.
