During the survey, some Argulus or fish lice were isolated from the skin of Carassius auratus (Linnaeus, 1758). A comparison with previously described Argulus species was conducted and the specimen was identified as Argulus coregoni Thorell, 1866. Such infections can be a major threat to fish health. Mainly three species of Argulus infect Carassius auratus namely A. japonicus Thiele, 1899; A. foliaceus Linnaeus, 1758, and A. coregoni Thorell, 1866 which were originally reported from Europe. Although, the same three species were reported from India also. The present study aims to add knowledge to previous studies on the morphology of A. coregoni by scanning electron microscopic images and also adding a new locality for the parasite.
在调查期间，从鲫（Carassius auratus，林奈，1758）的皮肤中分离出了一些鲺属或鱼虱。与先前描述的鲺属物种进行了比较，该标本被鉴定为科氏鲺（Argulus coregoni，托雷尔，1866）。此类感染可能对鱼类健康构成重大威胁。主要有三种鲺属感染鲫，即日本鲺（A. japonicus，蒂勒，1899）；叶状鲺（A. foliaceus，林奈，1758），以及科氏鲺（A. coregoni，托雷尔，1866），它们最初是在欧洲被报道的。尽管在印度也报道过相同的这三种鲺属。本研究旨在通过扫描电子显微镜图像为先前关于科氏鲺形态学的研究增添知识，同时为该寄生虫增加一个新的分布地点。
