					خارهاي باله پشتي (کل) : 0; شعاع نرم باله پشتي (کل) : 22 - 26; خارهاي  باله مخرجي: 0; شعاع نرم باله مخرجي: 22 - 24. Dark brownish grey in color (Ref. 4389).  During the course of development, fin is transformed into a suction disc (Ref. 35388).  Deeper-bodied than Echeneis naucrates (Ref. 37816).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.				
				 
			
			
			
			
			
			
			
				Usually associated with sharks but also attaches itself to other large fishes, sea turtles and even ships (Ref. 2850, 58302); found in gill chambers, fins and body surface (Ref. 5951).  Sometimes free-swimming (Ref. 2850).  Younger individual is more active as parasite pickers (Ref. 26938).  Feeds on parasitic copepods (Ref. 35388).
