I have seen many parasitic isopods living inside fish mouths and gills. I am sure most of you have too. I read an interesting article about them and thought some of you might find it interesting too.

One of the lings I caught at Shelter Cove had some type of parasites attached to its gill plates. Wish I knew then what I know now, I would have looked more closely at its mouth.

The tongue chewing isopods are so cool, and revolting!

I recall seeing this a few years back. Creeped me out then as well as now!
