Had a mate who caught an fresh extra large kahawai and was hamming it up for some hotties on the beach, holding the kahawai up above his head and pretending to kiss it, a HUGE lice fell out of the fish's mouth into his own ... well you should have seen his reaction,i was laughing for about 5 minutes and so were the women.]]> Fri, 22 Jun 2012 00:47:24 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79883&PID=1140988&title=mackerel-lice#1140988 <![CDATA[Mackerel Lice? : put the lice on a hook and you...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79883&PID=1140986&title=mackerel-lice#1140986 Author: Lethal

I could be wrong but always thought that a symbiotic relationship was two way - ie benefits for both parties?
 
This nasty ******* doesn't seem to offer much in return to his host?

Yes Oli as Jake D says very common in the mouths of piper jack macks & trevs yet on kahawai they live under the pectoral fins, yet most other fish dont seem to have them and I've no idea why. The fish will be fine, every jack mack seems to have on it its mouth.

yep very common is jack macs, piper, trevs, sometimes Kahawai. Harmless and doesnt affect eating quality at all.
 
if your interested to know they are just a parasitic isopod (related to sand hoppers) that grow inside the mouth. They eventually eat away the tounge of the host and replace the tounge with themselves, this way they get a portion of the hosts food without doing anything, pretty clever little things.
