A Redescription of the Bulla, Antennae, and Mouth Parts of Female Clavella sp. (Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida: Lernaeopodidae) Infesting Wild Gadus morhua Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

<div>(a) Overall view of the anterior terminus of the cephalothorax including the mouth parts (2nd maxillipeds (large arrows), 1st maxilla (small arrows), and oral crown with apical setae (large arrowhead)). (b) Detail of the 1st maxillae. Note endopod and exopod with long slender spines and situated at the apex (large arrows). Large arrowhead indicates a short palp with primary and secondary spines. Note short stout spine at the base of the exopod (small arrow) near small patches of spicules (small arrowhead). Star indicates oral setae. (c) Maxilliped with larger jointed subchela (star) with claw and pincers (small arrowhead). Note short robust spines (arrows) and small ornamental denticles (large arrowhead).</div>
