First Record of Nerocila bivittata (Cymothidae, Isopoda) on Greater Weever (Trachinus draco) in the Worldwide

Greater weever (Trachinus draco) have a wide distribution range. Nerocila species were reported from many fish in the areas, but did not receive any record of the greater weever. Nerocila bivittata was reported the first time from the greater weever (Trachinus draco) in the worldwide in the present study.
