5. Tongue Eating Louse
The tongue-eating louse, is a parasitic isopod . This parasite enters fish through the gills, and then attaches itself to the fish's tongue. The female attaches to the tongue and the male attaches on the gill arches beneath and behind the female. Females are 8–29 millimetres long and 4–14 mm in maximum width. Males are approximately 7.5–15 mm long and 3–7 mm wide. The parasite severs the blood vessels in the fish's tongue, causing the tongue to fall off. It then attaches itself to the stub of what was once its tongue and becomes the fish's new tongue.
