What do halibut parasites look like?

Halibut parasites can vary in appearance depending on the species, but common types include nematodes and flatworms. Nematode larvae often appear as small, thread-like organisms, while flatworms may look like flat, ribbon-like structures. Some parasites can be visible as cysts or lesions on the fish's flesh or skin. These parasites can affect the fish's health and may pose risks to humans if consumed improperly.
