Abstract
This note reviews the work done by Ju-shey Ho, currently Professor Emeritus at California State University, Long Beach, CA, USA, on the systematics of symbiotic copepods from aquatic animals in Japanese waters. Since 1980, he has reported 110 species of symbiotic copepods from Japanese fish and marine invertebrates, including those representing one new family, seven new genera and 41 new species, and has greatly contributed to clarifying the symbiotic copepod fauna of Japan. Research using symbiotic copepods as bioindicators of the phylogeny and evolution of host animals was conducted by him for the first time in Japan. He also made significant contributions to the taxonomy and biology of caligid copepods, a group that poses a serious threat to the aquaculture industry, found on farmed fish in Japan.
