In marine isopods, protogynous sex change appears, based on a limited number of species examined (Table I), to be restricted to free-living forms (Legrand and Juchalt, 1963; Burbanck and Burbanck, 1974; Buss and Iverson, 1981 ; whereas protandry occurs primarily within the parasitic suborders Epicarida and Flabellifera Family Cymothoidae; Brusca, 1981).
