Acanthochondria limandae is a species of copepods in the family Chondracanthidae.[1] They are host-specific ectoparasites of two species of flatfish: the common dab (Limanda limanda) and the European flounder (Platichthys flesus). They attach themselves to the bases of the gill arches of their hosts. They can infest as much as 2 to 30% of fish in a given population.[2] Acanthochondria limandae was first described by the Danish zoologist Henrik Nikolai Krøyer in 1863 as Chondracanthus limandae.[1]
