Info

Splanchnotrophidae Norman & Scott T., 1906

Parasitic copepods are found on almost every group of animals, from sponges to whales, from nudibranch to marine flatworms.

Splanchnotrophidae are a family of parasitic copepods with genus:
Genus Arthurius Huys, 2001
Genus Ceratosomicola Huys, 2001
Genus Ismaila Bergh, 1868
Genus Lomanoticola Scott T. & Scott A., 1895
Genus Majimun Uyeno & Nagasawa, 2012
Genus Splanchnotrophus Hancock & Norman, 1863

Unfortunately, we have no information about the exact identity of the parasites in the photos. Maybe Splanchnotrophus spp. / Splanchnotrophus angulatus or Splanchnotrophus willemi.
