Parasitism of Pseudocaligus sp. in wild grass puffer Takifugu niphobles in the coast of Yeosu in spring, 2007 was identified. The preadult and adult stages of Pseudocaligus sp. were observed, which consisted of cephalothorax, genital segment and abdomen. Lunules were present on the anterior margin of the frontal plate. In order to develop the treatment method, we examined the effects of formalin and fresh water on the parasite. The Pseudocaligus sp. were detached from the host fish by bathing at concentrations of 50 to 400 ppm formalin within 60 min, but 57% was exterminated to fresh water for 90 min.
