The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of parasitism by isopods and the reproductive biology of the leather jack, Oligoplites spp. A total of 113 individuals of Oligoplites spp (35 of O. saurus and 78 of O. palometa) were captured during the period between January, 2005 and July, 2007 from the coastal waters of Natal, RN. The morphometric and meristic characters were registered; macroscopic analyses were done to collect the isopod parasites and the gonads were observed to verify the reproductive aspects. The crustacean isopod parasite, Cymothoa spinipalpa (Isopoda: Cymothidae) was encountered on the tongue in the oral cavity in both fish hosts. The parasitic indices of C. spinipalpa showed high values of prevalance of 51,4% for O. saurus and 64,1% for O. palometa. The host presented significant correlations between body mass and body length of O. palometa and the number of parasites. Body lengths of female C. spinipalpa were small due to the limited space available in the oral cavity of the host. There was a significant difference in the sex ratio of O. palometa, males outnumbered the females. The isopod parasites showed specificity to the oral cavity of hosts. Macroscopic analyses of gonads showed four stages of gonadal development for both sex of O. palometa: immature, maturing, mature and spent / ?As esp?cies Oligoplites palometa (Cuvier) e Oligoplites saurus (Bloch & Schneider) (Osteichthyes: Carangidae) s?o peixes costeiros pel?gicos. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar o parasitismo por is?podos e a biologia reprodutiva em tibiro, Oligoplites spp. Foram capturados cento e treze exemplares de Oligoplites spp durante o per?odo de janeiro de 2005 a julho de 2007 nas ?guas costeiras de Natal, RN. Foram realizadas as medidas morfom?tricas e mer?sticas, a an?lise macrosc?pica para coleta dos parasitos is?podos e a retirada das g?nadas para o estudo dos aspectos reprodutivos. Foi encontrada uma nova esp?cie de ectoparasito, Cymothoa spinipalpa (Isopoda: Cymothidae), sobre a l?ngua na cavidade oral em ambas as esp?cies de Oligoplites. Os ?ndices parasit?rios de C. spinipalpa indicaram uma alta preval?ncia sendo de 51,4% para O. saurus e de 64,1% para O. palometa. Em O. palometa existe uma correla??o significativa entre peso do hospedeiro e o n?mero de parasito como tamb?m entre o comprimento total do hospedeiro e o n?mero de parasito. As f?meas de C. spinipalpa tiveram seu comprimento limitado pelo ambiente f?sico dispon?vel na cavidade bucal do hospedeiro. Foi encontrada uma diferen?a significativa na propor??o sexual de O. palometa, com um maior n?mero de machos em rela??o ao n?mero de f?meas. Os is?podos t?m especificidade pela cavidade oral dos hospedeiros. A an?lise macrosc?pica das g?nadas permitiu a identifica??o de quatro est?dios distintos de matura??o em ambos os sexos de O. palometa: imaturo, em matura??o, maduro e esvaziado
