This is a parasitic copepod in the genus Brachiella. It was pulled off of the outside of a one meter long Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) captured on hook and line in surface waters in the Gulf of Mexico, May 2017. The parasite was located on the body of the fish in the slight crease where the pectoral fin meets the body. Image courtesy of the DEEPEND project. | |
