MICROCT ILLUMINATES THE UNIQUE MORPHOLOGY OF SHIINOIDAE (COPEPODA: CYCLOPOIDA), AN UNUSUAL GROUP OF FISH PARASITES

MicroCT illuminates the unique morphology of Shiinoidae (Copepoda: Cyclopoida), an unusual group of fish parasites

The copepod family Shiinoidae Cressey, 1975 currently comprises nine species of teleost M Jeans parasites with unusual morphology and a unique attachment mechanism.Female shiinoids possess greatly enlarged antennae that oppose a rostrum, an elongate outgrowth of cuticle that originates between the antennules.The antennae form a moveable clasp again
