Snapper Louse [Peroderma]

Description

Peroderma is a genus of parasitic copepods that primarily target snappers and other types of marine fish. These copepods are recognized by their cylindrical bodies and the presence of a complex array of hooks and suckers for attachment. Peroderma species can be found both externally and internally in their hosts, causing damage and potentially leading to decreased vitality and increased susceptibility to disease.
