Argulus is a genus of fish lice in the family Argulidae. There are more than 130 described species in Argulus.[1][2][3][4] They occur in marine, brackish, and freshwater environments.[1] As juveniles, Argulus feed on mucous and skin cells of their host. With age they become blood feeders because the parasite moves from feeding on the fins to feeding on the body of the fish, causing the feeding change.[5]
