About Lepeophtheirus salmonis
The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, is a species of copepod in the genus Lepeophtheirus. It is a sea louse, a parasite living mostly on salmon, particularly on Pacific salmon, but is also sometimes found on the three-spined stickleback. It lives off the mucus, skin and blood of the fish.
