This week’s mystery object has something fishy that caught my eye – I wonder if it will catch yours?
Any ideas what it might be?

Zygoma
Adventures in natural history collections
Zygoma 
Roe, roe, roe your boat-gently till it sinks?
just put my glasses on and realised I’s(a)prat, m’got it wrong thinking of fins not wriggly things-but I’ll cope
Good recovery 😉
Always lerning something new on zygoma…
Truly didn’t know about these guys (well girl, in this case) but a quick google for “fish eye parasite” and I too lerned something new.
s’not a booger in my eye!
(can fish even get boogers?)
They certainly have mucus, so I would have thought so…
Straight out of never-never land. A leg in its eye?
That’s worse than a foot in its mouth!
parasitic copepod
The poor fish needs fingers to remove it!
