Abstract
We report the occurrence of the ectoparasitic lepadomorph barnacle Ane lasma sp. on the deep-sea squaloid shark Centroscyllium nigrum from th e Pacific sub-Antarctic off southern Chile. Anelasma has previously be en documented only from the northeast Atlantic on the squaloid shark E tmopterus spinax; this new record extends the known range of Anelasma into the Pacific Ocean and into the Southern Hemisphere, and documents a new host for this parasitic barnacle.
