Abstract
Heavy infestations of this copepod in various developmental stages occur on Salmo salar and Salvelinus fontinalis at Moser River, N.S. Males and females occur in about equal numbers. Metanauplius and chalimus stages were present on the fins of the hosts. The male and four of the developmental stages are described and figures given. The parasite feeds on the skin of its host.Keywords
