Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
Facts
- Freshwater ectoparasite on salmonids (Ref: PastMikh2004)
- 9 stages between hatch and adult, hatching as metanauplius; eggs in mats on firm surface, fully parasitic (Ref: TaylSomm2005)
- Stages 1-5, the first maxilla is a strong hook for attachment, which transforms to a sucker in stage 6 (Ref: TaylSomm2005)
