Huffmanela branchialis is a parasitic nematode[1] It has been observed on the gills of the fork-tailed threadfin bream Nemipterus furcosus, a nemipterid marine fish off New Caledonia. Its eggs are released from the gill mucosa with the turnover of living tissues and immediately continue their life-cycle.

Description

The fork-tailed threadfin bream (Nemipterus furcosus) has its gills parasitized by Huffmanela branchialis in New Caledonia

The adults are unknown, only the eggs were described.[1] The eggs are 45–52 micrometers in length and 23–30 micrometers in width, with thin shells. Each egg is enclosed in a thin membrane forming a spindle-shaped envelope 53–85 micrometers in length.
