Siphonostomatoida is an order of copepods, containing around 75% of all the copepods that parasitise fishes.[1] Their success has been linked to their possession of siphon-like mandibles and of a "frontal filament" to aid attachment to their hosts.[2] Most are marine, but a few live in fresh water.[3] There are 39 recognised families:[4]
