Epicardean isopods are a group of crustaceans that inhabit the epicardial region of fish hearts. These parasitic or commensal organisms attach to the heart tissues, often feeding on the host's blood or other bodily fluids. They are notable for their unique adaptations to their environment and can have significant impacts on the health of their fish hosts. Their study helps researchers understand host-parasite interactions and the ecological roles of these organisms.
