Abstract
We describe and illustrate the complete development of Argulus foliace us L. A metanauplius is followed by nine juvenile stages. Eggs were de tected in the thorax of the female at the 11th stage. Comparisons are made between the development of A. foliaceus and the other freshwater species of Argulus currently found in the UK.
