Lutjanus guttatus is a marine fish that serves as host of approximately 40 parasite species. Of these, three protozoan species, Amyloodinium ocellatum, Cryptocaryum irritans and Brooklynella hostilis are seen as a real threat for the production of L. guttatus. Likewise, the monogeneans belonging to the Dactylogyridae family, which are small parasitic worms, can be a problem. These worms, although are not responsible of death, can reach high infection intensities in gills, leading to impairment of breathing. To date, to control these parasites, one of the most recommended treatments are formalin baths. Nonetheless, research is conducted in different parts of the world to discover new compounds that result totally effective against parasites and safe for the fish and the environment.
