Genera

50 genera (see text)

Lernaeopodidae is a family of parasitic copepods.[1][2] The females are typically large and fleshy, and attach to the host permanently using a plug made of chitin called the bulla. The males cling on to the females using their antennae.[2] They parasitize both marine and freshwater fish. Some lernaeopodids, including Clavella and Salmincola, can have negative impacts on fish in aquaculture.[3]
