- Abstract
The article presents a case study on the feeding behavior of cirolanid isopod Eurydice personata kensley which was obtained from the flank of a Caribbean leptocephalus larva. It states that examination of the leptocephalus larva shows damages on its intestinal tract which appear sectioned in various areas both posteriorly and anteriorly. It adds that E. personata invades the larva by entering through its anus, which enlarges gut's terminal section, and then began feeding on the intestinal duct.
