Large ectoparasitic copepods, nearly as long as the length of their host, are often found on Antarctic fish, yet little is known about their biology. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure and host-parasite relationships in Macrourus whitsoni, a deep-sea fish, and its copepod ectoparasite, Lophoura szidati, using 10,569 biallelic SNPs collected from 38 copepods and 5,009 biallelic SNPs from 35 fish...
