Question

fish diseases- what is skin fluke?

Answer 1

A skin fluke found on a fish is a parasite that feeds on blood and mucus close to the surface of the fish's gill or skin. They use hooks and/ or suction to attach to fish. These parasites do not directly result in the death of fish, but they often cause infections that can lead to death.
