Several epizoa were collected: leech, balanus, barnacles, remoras, crabs, algae, amphipods and eggs (probably of leechs). The leech Ozobranchus sp. was the most abundant and was located on the neck and flippers of the turtle. The next most abundant group includes the balanus Platylepas hexastylos and Chelonibia testudinaria; the first was more abundant on the neck and flippers of the turtle, whereas the second was most frequently located on the carapace. The gooseneck barnacles were the third most abundant group, including two species. Lepas anatifera and Conchoderma virgatum; the former was most frequently located on the carapace. vvhereas the latter was recorded on the neck and flippers. Also found on L. olivacea were the fish Remora remora, the crab Planes cyaneus, the alga Polysiphonia sp., amphipods and eggs; however, these species were not abundant. Entre agosto y diciembre de 1993 se revisaron 46 hembras de la tortuga golfina Lepidochelys olivacea en la playa La Gloria, Jalisco, México. Se recolectaron sanguijuelas, balanos percebes, rémoras, cangrejos, algas, anfípodos y huevos (probablemente de sanguijuelas). La sanguijuela Ozobranchus sp. fue la especie con la mayor abundancia relativa, encontrándose en el cuello y las aletas donde la piel es más delgada y con una mayor profusión de sangre, seguido por los balanos Platylepas hexastylos y Chelonibia testudinaria. El tamaño más pequeño de la primera especie le permitió adherirse a áreas más rugosas, como las aletas y el cuello, mientras que la segunda especie fue más abundante en el caparazón, donde encontró una mayor área de fijación. Los percebes Lepas anatifera y Conchoderma virgatum ocuparon el tercer lugar. La primera especie fue más abundante en el caparazón, mientras que la segnnda se observó más en el cuello y las aletas. Los demás organismos como Remora remora, Planes cyaneus, Polysiphonia sp. y anfípodos estuvieron poco representados en las muestras.  Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California 1998-03-06 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed research note Nota de investigación arbitrada application/pdf https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/733 10.7773/cm.v24i1.733 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 24 No. 1 (1998); 119-125 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (1998); 119-125 2395-9053 0185-3880 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/733/660
