Nerocila [Nerocila]

Description

Nerocila is a genus of isopods, often found attached to the external surfaces of marine fish. These parasites have a flattened, oval shape, which helps them to adhere closely to the host. They feed on the mucus, skin, and blood of the fish, causing irritation and potentially facilitating secondary infections.
