%X the gamitana is a species of socio-economic importance in the peruvian amazon, often intensively produced locally for human consumption. because of this, more studies concerning parasite populations affecting this species' culture are necessary. in this study, a heavy copepod infestation of perulernaea gamitanae is reported in a managed culture of gamitana. the prevalence of infection was 100% and mortality of the fish population was complete. the average intensity and abundance of the parasite was 268.8 parasites per individual.
