Pseudolernaea [Pseudolernaea]

Description

Pseudolernaea is a genus of copepods in the family Lernaeidae, comprising species that parasitize freshwater and occasionally brackish water fishes. These parasites attach to the external surfaces of fish, including the skin, fins, and gills, often causing irritation, tissue damage, and increased susceptibility to secondary infections. Pseudolernaea's impact on fish health and welfare is a focus of study in parasitology and aquaculture.
