I. Causative Agent and Disease Ichthyobodiasis is caused by a flagellated protozoan of the genus Ichthyobodo, formally known as Costia. These parasites are very small (5-10 um) with both free swimming and attached stages that can easily be overlooked in an examination. I. necator is an obligate parasite infesting the skin and/or gills of fishes including salmonids. When present on gills, Ichthyobodo seriously reduces the ability of young salmon to adapt to seawater.
