The Bopyridae are a family of isopodcrustaceans in the suborder Cymothoida. There are 1223 individual species contained in this family.[1][2] Members of the family are ectoparasites of crabs and shrimp. They live in the gill cavities or under the carapace where they cause a noticeable swelling. Fossil crustaceans have occasionally been observed to have a similar characteristic bulge.[3]
