Justine & Euzet wrote that the species was named “for Professor Claude Chauvet, a specialist of grouper biology, and his wife Gisèle Chauvet, who kindly provided, among many other fish, several of the fish hosts used in this study”. [1]
The black-saddled coral grouper Plectropomus laevis is the type-host of Echinoplectanum chauvetorum. The type-locality is the coral reef off Nouméa, New Caledonia. [1]
